Maybe I'm getting old but this doesn't sound very cool to me:
On Tuesday 24 January, Immersion, Orange and Samsung will jointly launch the FIRST VibeTonz-enabled phone available in Europe. Destined to be the next iPod-cool consumer gadget, the VibeTonz phone is THE next big thing in mobile.
Why is VibeTonz so hot?
VibeTonz is a unique technology that embeds a huge range of 'vibro-tactile' sensations into the mobile handset. This enables:
- Mobile gamers to accurately feel the recoil of gunshots, the jolt of punches and the acceleration of cars
- Mobile messaging to be personalised with vibration-based heartbeats, growls and hugs
- Ringtones that give users the physical sensation of drum breaks and basslines
- A touch sensation that alerts the user as soon as a call is dropped due to reception problems
Actually, it sounds pretty rubbish to me. I'm sure it'll make its way into phones in future, but will people really buy a phone on the strength that it “vibrates a bit better”? What do you think?
