A group of French developers have created a strange project called MobiLimb. He is now at the prototype stage. The idea MobiLimb that the smartphone is added a robotic “finger”.
A “limb” can be connected to any Android smartphone with micro USB port. He will be able to provide a more “personal” force feedback — instead of “soulless” vibration, the user Pat on the hand, for example, upon receipt of a positive smiley face.
He also can knock on the table as an alert of a new message, write and draw on paper, keep a lamp or just to wave from side to side like the tail of a cat or dog. One of the possible applications — the empowerment of games with augmented reality.
