Giving new definition to reaching out and ‘touch’ someone, last week Nokia filed an application to patent the world’s first vibrating tattoo-
Haptic feedback is what makes your phone vibrate when you touch it and they have embedded haptics into permanent and temporary tattoos using magnetic inks that will vibrate in different patterns based on whether you’ve received a text message or a missed call. This special ink will be applied like regular tattoos, only the ink will be exposed to a external magnet to magnetize it, which would allow it to then receive vibration patterns through the skin.
