Marke I read the IBM paper, but that hand-shaking gadget uses a small electrical signal conducted by the human body. The MIT one uses an infra-red signal; but the IBM method is more likely to make a bigger (shocking?) impression on your colleagues :) Thanks for the comments guys!

What’s more, the prototype allows data to be transmitted from sender to receiver through up to four touching bodies. this is like so ten years old
