This phone turns speech into a vibrating tongue or brush to make people feel less isolated> * Two students at the Royal College of Art in London created a phone concept that translates speech and turns it into movement.
> * Speech is felt through phones with a tongue-like silicon piece and a feeler.
> * The design is a response to 'skin hunger' from COVID-19 isolation.
> Phones and digital communication have become more important than ever as people communicate while isolating during the COVID-19 pandemic, and now phone conversations can become more physical.
By loudly and severely scolding someone over such a phone, you could indeed give that person (in a literal sense) a tongue-lashing.
