What is Red Tacton?
Red Tacton is a new Human Area Networking technology.
Uses the surface of the human body as a safe, high speed network transmission path.
It uses the minute electric field emitted on the surface of the human body.
Claims to send data over the surface of skin.
Attains a speed up to 10 Mbps --- equivalent to a fast broadband connection.
Principle
Red Tacton relies upon the principle that the optical properties of an electro-optic crystal can vary according to the changes of a weak electric field.
Human Safety
The transmitting and receiving electrodes of the transceiver are completely covered with insulated film.
Impossible for current to flow from the transceiver to the human body.
When communication occurs, displacement current is generated by the electrons in the body because body is subjected to minute electrical fields.
Touch
Touching, gripping, sitting, walking, stepping and other human movements can be the triggers for unlocking or locking, starting or stopping equipment, or obtaining data.
Advantages
Data transfer is faster and easier through this technology.
Data loss during transfer is less.
Use of minimum amount of power (of some less range).
Security is more
Disadvantages
It can be useful within few centimeters.
Effects on human body is still under research.
