Reach Out & Touch Someone With The Human Phone (PHOTOS) | Global Grind

Per the above article....


Engineers in Japan have designed a cell phone that mimics the feel of human skin.

The phone was made in cooperation with NTT Docomo, Japan's Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International, Osaka University and other research institutions.

"The mobile phone may feel like the person you are talking to," the Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International (ATR) said in a press release, describing the gadget as a "revolutionary telecom medium."

The prototype is the size of your palm and features an outer coating that feels like human skin, ATR officials said. A speaker is installed in the head of the doll-like gadget and a light-emitting diode in its chest turns blue when the phone is in use and red when it is in standby mode. The body resembles a human being but its design is so fuzzy that it could be taken as either male or female and young or old, the press release said.


Oh the humanity! LOL :D
