In a patent filing involving haptic technology, Nokia is “proposing the application of tattoos with ferromagnetic inks that will vibrate based on commands from your phone” and could be applied to various parts of the body, IEEE Spectrum Risk Factor reports.
Uses include getting calls in noisy areas, security uses (passwords, and military (to deal with information overload).
