Forget LAN or Bluetooth here's a way to turn yourself into a walking talking file transfer machine. Japanese company Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT) has developed technology that uses the human body as a high-speed network. What's more, it also forms a communications link between people and electronic devices.
This is the first viable Human Area Network (HAN) device, enabling fast data transfer between devices using the human body as a conduit.
The transceivers - called RedTacton - uses the surface of the human body as a safe, high speed network transmission path that safely turns the surface of the human body into a data transmission path at speeds up to 10 Mbps between any two points on the body.
