Microsoft offers education in manners and etiquette: The world's largest computer company is working on, or at least planning, a new patent that will allow us to receive notification of a phone message through our... clothes, the Sky News website reveals.
According to the inventors of the patent, it is not polite to glance at a mobile phone every short period of time, and therefore a notification by tingling the skin through clothing is the perfect solution.
The clothes will cause gentle electrical stimulation to the skin, and will inform the user at any given moment about any message.
In the future, Microsoft promises that the new clothes will be able to help people navigate the streets, using various stimuli throughout the body.
For now, the company is working on shirts and shoes, but in the future, additional clothing will be introduced.
