Vibrating mobile televisions due from Korea

Those two Korean gentlemen in the photograph are not just watching television on mobile phones - they're actually feeling it. They are checking out the new force-feedback TV standard that's about to take the entire world by storm. Tech.co.uk reports.

"The so-called 3D broadcasting is so simple in concept it's surprising it hasn't happened before - take key moments from a TV show and send a simultaneous signal to make the phone vibrate.

The examples given by LG include a thud as a ball hits the back of the net in football or an in-hand rumble to match whatever onscreen violence is unfolding."
