Nokia Patent’s a Tattoo that Vibrates when your phone rings
Are you a fan of the latest technology and tattoos? You may be able to combine the artwork of a tattoo with the latest technology. Nokia is looking into a rather interesting way to let you know that your phone is ringing. With the use of ferromagnetic inks, and commands issued by your phone you will be able to have a vibrating tattoo! The tattoo is applied the typical fashion that tattoos are done, so you may not need to visit a special artist as long as they have the appropriate ink. Interestingly this didn’t start out with tattoos in mind, this started out with simply wearing the ferromagnetic material somewhere on your body, but the ideas have evolved. It may be going a little to far for me though!
The material could be paired with a phone, for example, like Bluetooth accessories are paired to electronics. The phone, however, would have to be capable of emitting varying magnetic fields.
So then, for example, when someone calls that phone, it will send out a specific magnetic field. The material will detect that, and will start vibrating in a certain pattern. That pattern could be different according to whos calling, or it could be different according to what exactly is happening on the phone (a phone call, text message, and so on).
For this to work, the phone would have to send out a different magnetic field for each action, because the material would associate a different type of vibration with each kind of magnetic field it detects. The vibrations would happen by magnetically manipulating the material.
