The 'magical' machine that lets you talk with your FINGERTIPS: Disney develop device that turns your hand into a secret speaker

What if you could send secret messages to someone just by touching them?

Disney has created a ‘magical’ device that allows you to do just that using a simple microphone and the human body.

The Ishin-Den-Shin technology, which roughly translates into telepathy in Japanese, turns the body into a human speaker allowing anyone to transmit messages through their fingertips.

When a person whisper’s into the Ishin-Den-Shin microphone, sound energy is converted into electrical energy creating an electrostatic field around the whisper’s body.

The whisper can then touch another individual on their earlobe and the electrostatic field will send vibrations through the ear.

This causes the person touched, but no one else, to hear the message that was whispered.

Ivan Poupyrev, one of the inventors of the system, explained that the inaudible signal can be transmitted from body to body, using any type of physical contact.
