Abstract
There is new concept of “RED TACTON” which makes the human body as a communication network by name HAN (Human Area
Network). NTT lab from Japan is currently testing & developing this revolutionary technology. Red Tacton is the major requirement and advantage for people. Red Tacton uses the minute electric field generated by human body as medium for transmitting the data.
The chips which will be embedded in various devices contain transmitter and receiver built to send and accept data in digital format. In this paper we consider about red tacton, its working principle, different applications and future development of red tacton. Keywords
Red Tacton, Network, NTT.
I. Introduction
Red Tacton is a new Human Area Networking technology that uses the surface of the human body as a safe, high speed network transmission 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. A transmission path is formed at the moment a part of the human body comes in contact with a Red Tacton transceiver. Communication is possible using any body surfaces, such as the hands, fingers, arms, feet, face, legs or torso. Red Tacton works through shoes and clothing as well.
When the physical contact gets separated, the communication is ended [1].
Using Red Tacton enabled devices, music from a digital audio player in your pocket would pass through your clothing and shoot over your body to headphones in your ears. Instead of fiddling around with a cable to connect your digital camera to your computer, you could transfer pictures just by touching the PC while the camera is around your neck. And since data can pass from one body to
