In the flesh: New smartphone cases could use some lotion
Smartphones are supposedly designed to act as an extension of our bodies. Thatâs why a group of researchers from France have developed a series of smartphone cases that look and feel like theyâre made of human skin. These lumpy, flesh-toned accessories snugly fit all brands of smartphones â and get this, theyâre touch sensitive! You can pinch the back of your fleshy-case if youâre frustrated, or tickle it if youâre in a good mood. In response, the case will produce feedback and emoji reactions. The goal of the product, apparently, is to âincrease user expressiveness.â If they meant âexpressions of horror and shock,â theyâre doing a fa ntastic job.
A phone case made of flesh doesnât seem quite as useful as a phone case with an airbag.
