wolven7I know some of you don't like The New Scientist, because it extrapolates too far, or whatever, but please never forget that all hypotheses begin as creative endeavours. There are no formulae, no rational processes to the invention of an hypothesis, to the field of testing applications. There is only surveying the existing field, taking in the information, and moving it around until something goes *Click!*
If you ever forget that, then you are a bad scientist.
That being said, 'Lin Zhong and Michael Liebschner at Rice University in Houston, Texas. . . want to use the human skeleton to transmit commands reliably and securely to wearable gadgets and medical implants. Their research, funded by Microsoft and Texas Instruments, could also lead to new ways for people with disabilities to control devices such as computers and PDAs.'
Vibrating signals across your skeletal structure.
Think of the mod/body hacking possibilities...

Date: 2007-06-22 03:34 pm (UTC)I also see some issues with the handshake thing, possible interference.
It's workable; in fact, it's a great idea, and I especially like how the idiom of the handshake is preserved. We'll just have some serious security issues to work out as far as communication protocol is concerned, and always base it on active user decision.
