Nokia Applies For Vibrating Tattoo Patent

Posted by Unknown on Wednesday March 21, 2012 @03:39AM from the everything-has-been-invented dept.

New submitter CanHasDIY writes "Tired of waiting for the Pip-Boy or Omni-Tool to be invented? Never fear! Nokia is developing the basic technology needed to make your dreams a reality: haptic-feedback tattoos. According to the patent application, Nokia is proposing 'a material attachable to skin, the material capable of detecting a magnetic field and transferring a perceivable stimulus to the skin, wherein the perceivable stimulus relates to the magnetic field.' Basically, the process is the same as for normal tattooing; the difference is in the ferromagnetic ink. Kind of brings new meaning to the term 'embedded device,' doesn't it?"

You're a retard. (And it didn't cost me nor society shit to diagnose you, lol)

One of the most expensive countries in the world to live in (for the middle class), yet we spend per capita close to half on health care compare to the US. Explain that... You can't, cause your system sucks balls in ways that defies imagination.

Thanks for being so stupid, it improves my self-image to realize there can be so many fucking stupid people in one place.
