Abstract

This review study, presented at the 2nd World Conference on Advanced Materials for Defense (AuxDefense 2020), focuses on skin as sensory interface and explores the latest discoveries in bioelectronic science. The work analyzes at what extent invisibility is possible by emulating nature, and if military applications can really benefit from technology that combines epidermal systems and virtual reality — and from next generation of wearable textile computing technologies.

This will be accomplished through multidisciplinary research in science and technology fields such as bio-inspired/biomimetic materials, visual and sensory perception, and bio-optics/bioelectronics. Basic research to understand bio-inspired adaptive camouflage include texture and shape modulation, colour adaptation, signature concealment and mechanisms for tunable regulation of multi-functional materials.
