Thanks for the comments guys!
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

I disagree I would actually us this (conferences or even just going out and meeting new people).

IBM, PAN from 1996

Using a small prototype transmitter (roughly the size of a deck of cards) embedded with a microchip, and a slightly larger receiving device, the researchers can transmit a pre-programmed electronic business card between two people via a simple handshake. What’s more, the prototype allows data to be transmitted from sender to receiver through up to four touching bodies.
