The BBC reports that devices hailed as the next generation of mobile phones have been put on display at the User Centre in the University of Dundee's Queen Mother Building.

These six new phones, which support "intimacy and sensuality", are the creations of second-year students from the College of Art, Science and Engineering's product design course. One of these phones is call the Aware, a phone contained within a necklace which sends a tingle down your back if a friend is nearby. Another is the Boom Tube, which allows people to make music together.

"This exhibition has a phone for everyone," said Sarah McMichael, one of the students who designed the Aware. "Our aim was to get away from the unsocial mobile phones that today's world is being taken over by, to learn to communicate and interact with each other on a new level."
