With the thin touchpad placed on their arms, they were able to write words and to play the piano and games. Researchers have developed a highly stretchable touch panel that can be used to write words and play electronic games, an advance that could lead to flexible and wearable devices with a variety of applications. The stretchable touchpad can be strapped to your arm, to work on the go. Using the touchpad, they were able to draw a stick figure, with the data conveyed onto a computer screen. The touchpad was still able to operate when it was stretched to more than 1,000 per cent of its normal area, researchers said.
