The deformation material laboratory and the soft machine laboratory have collaborated to create "electrodermis"-a wearable electronic bandage. Wearable devices have become an increasingly promising interactive platform that injects computing power that is always available to the body. This opens up a wide range of applications, including information access, health, fitness and fashion. Different from previous platforms, wearable electronic products need to have a consistent structure, be comfortable, soft, flexible, and beautiful. "Electrodermis" is a manufacturing system that simplifies the creation of wearable electronic devices that are comfortable, flexible, and completely unfettered.

The project envisions a future where electronic devices can be temporarily connected to the body (such as bandages or party masks), but are functional and beautiful. The bandage is designed for many different parts of the body, from the knee to the forehead, its shape is still easy to move. In general, electrodermis aims to provide a complementary method for wearable electronic products-a method that emphasizes the concept of impermanence (that is, as opposed to tattoos and implants), while also better conforming to the dynamic characteristics of the human body.
