It’s truly amazing what technology can do. Now, data can be easily transmitted just by touching a device with the surface of a human body.

Firmo, the new gadget produced by Nippon Telephones and Telegraph Company, lets users to communicate with electronic devices just by touching them. It is a card-sized transmitter carried in the user’s pocket. The card converts stored data into a weak AC electric field that extends across the body. When the user touches a device or object embedded with a compatible receiver, the electric field is converted back into a data signal which can be read by the device.

Firmo can transfer data at 230kbps but presently, NTT Company is working on a low cost 10Mbps version.
