BOFFINS at Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT) have worked out a way of using the human body as a high-speed network and connect people to electronic devices.
The Human Area Network (HAN) device can manage fast data transfer between devices using the human body as a conduit.
yeah - they did this with powering a mouse one time.
using the body to carry a low amperage current to power the mouse.
lol, han
So far the engineers have managed to transmit data at 2Mbps. RedTacton-enabled devices have to be within about 20cm of the skin to work with the data on the body.
Wonder how long it took them to get this far.
I can see this being useful tech in China where they have 1/3 of the world’s population… “Unemployed? Why not become a bonafide network cable!! Good benefits, flexible hours, 401k!!”
lol
You should start that up here, as Your business model.
…like, “Han’s Across America”?
