Virtual Reality glove that gets energy of motion [ New hand glove ]

The gloves we use in virtual reality applications need a source of energy, and that means having wires coming to these gloves, which destroys the desired experience enough (imagine be feeling wires touching the skin while the eyes enjoy perfect virtual scenarios ).

In order to solve this problem, Italian engineers and US have been working on some gloves able to get energy with the movement of the fingers, energy, although not enough to keep the battery at 100% constantly for a traditional application it does increase the battery life.

The prototype has a name: "Goldfinger" and uses piezoelectric transducers that convert the mechanical movements of the user's fingers into electricity without losing the flexibility needed in these devices.

On the history of gloves capable of managing data, discussed in IEEE which first proposed in the 1970s and 1980s, and early versions were sold in the 1990s for the virtual modeling and certain medical applications, but they were always material electronic components and rigid with awkward data cables and bulky power sources.

The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket returns to Earth unharmed after leaving the space [ Video Clip ]

The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket returns to Earth unharmed after leaving the space [Video] :

For the first time in history, a rocket has gone into space and landed without damage. The protagonist is the Falcon 9 rocket company of Elon Musk, SpaceX, and Cape Canaveral (Florida, USA) is the place in which it was released and the same site that successfully returned minutes ago.

As for precedent, Blue Origin, a company of Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon, also achieved a few weeks ago a rocket launch and return , but it was not as fast and much less went as far as he did the Falcon 9 after Three failed attempts -llegando to the International Space Station with supplies- and consider to a floating platform independent for landing, it achieved a historic event for Science and Technology.

Finally, subtract start saving for when ticket sales for commercial space travel to become popular, but more importantly, it begins execution, something closer thanks to SpaceX. By the way, you can review the accounts SpaceX and ElonMusk on Twitter to keep up with more pictures and details, plus, the news page SpaceX has technical information of great interest.
