Red Tacton

Abstract

All the user-friendly services require technologies that enable communication between people and objects in close proximity. This paper describes a model of human area networking technology that enables communication by touching, a technology we call Red Tacton. It is a Human Area Networking technology, which is developed by Robin Gaur Jind, that uses the surface of the human body as a safe, high speed network tran smission path.It is completely distinct from wireless and infrared technologies as it uses the minute electric field emitted on the surface of the human body. RedTacton involves initiating communication with a touch that could result in a wide range of actions in response. It does not rely on electromagnetic or a light wave to transmit data. A transmission path is formed at the moment a part of the human body comes in contact with a RedTacton transceiver. Communication is possible using any body surfaces, such as the hands, fingers, arms, feet, face, legs etc. RedTacton works through shoes and clothing as well. When the physical contact gets separated, the communication is ended. The data transfer between RedTacton enabled devices does not require any dialing or log-in, the data transfer would be practically instantaneous. While it is true that similar personal area networks are alre ady accessible by using radio-based technologies like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, they are often hampered by intermittent service and will eventually be replaced by "human area networks
