Some people who love horror films, they just crave the element of surprise and thrill that a good scary movie gives them. A new technology could bring the same creepy feeling every time you get a call; researchers are now aiming to go beyond the common mobile vibrator. Imagine if your future mobile could actually give you a tap on your shoulder or even go as far as giving you an electric shock. Researchers Kevin Li of U.C. San Diego, with Patrick Baudisch of Microsoft and other researchers from UCSD and Cognitive Science, are trying to make a unique vibrator that could give the feeling that your palm is being rubbed or your shoulder being tapped.

These ghostly features on future mobile phones should give you an idea of how different creepy it could get once this research comes to a successful conclusion. You thought irritating mp3 ringtones are the bane of your early morning public transit woes?
