Facebook working on device that sends messages through the skin



Facebook is working on a technique that allows people to feel smartphone messages through their skin when they are unable to access their device.
The social network's team of in-house scientists have are working on a sleeve-like prototype, which translates words into vibrations delivered by pads onto the arm, according to a paper published by the social media giant’s research team.
The wearable device could be useful in situations when a person is unable to check their smartphones like during a meeting, when in the cinema, or while attending church, the academics said.
