Waterproof "e-glove" with starfish-inspired sensors enables 99.8% accurate underwater gesture communication for scuba divers.
Researchers have created a waterproof "e-glove" with sensors inspired by starfish tube-like feet, enabling scuba divers to communicate underwater through 16 common hand gestures. The glove's sensors, powered by AI, detect pressures and translate gestures into messages with 99.8% accuracy. This technology could enhance diver communication, potentially apply to virtual reality and stroke recovery.
