Red Tacton is a new human area networking technology that uses the human body as a network transmission path. It involves using the minute electric field generated by the human body as a medium for transmitting data through touch at speeds of up to 10 Mbps. Red Tacton will enable ubiquitous computing services based on human-centered interactions and make networking technology easier for people to use. Some potential applications include automatically sounding an alarm to prevent accidental medicine ingestion, printing documents by touching a printer, exchanging private data via handshake, using wireless headsets, and verifying user identity and unlocking devices.
