- RedTacton
RedTacton is a Human Area Networking technology, which is under development, that uses the surface of the
human body as a safe, high speed network transmission path. It is completely distinct fromwireless andinfrared technologies as it uses the minute electric field emitted on the surface of the human body.A transmission path is formed at the moment a part of the human body comes in contact with a RedTacton transceiver. Communication is possible using any body surfaces, such as the hands, fingers, arms, feet, face, legs or torso. RedTacton works through shoes and clothing as well. When the physical contact gets separated, the communication is ended.
Using RedTacton-enabled devices, music from a
digital audio player in your pocket would pass through your clothing and shoot over your body toheadphones in your ears. Instead of fiddling around with a cable to connect yourdigital camera to your computer, you could transfer pictures just by touching the PC while the camera is around your neck. And since data can pass from one body to another, you could also exchange electronicbusiness card s by shaking hands, trade music files by dancing cheek to cheek, or swap phone numbers just bykiss ing.External links
