Nokia Sensor Helps You Pull

by Guy Brighton

Sensor62x621One day - if single - you’re going to walk into the bar and feel the gentle vibration against the top of your leg. It will be your phone letting you know that someone on your online dating service with the perfect profile for you is within 10 feet. So sober up and take a mint.

Until then, Nokia has developed a "social Bluetooth smartphone application" which allows phone users with the same download to scan other folk in their surrounds and look at their profiles including photos. There’s also a guestbook and a file sharing application (remember that PSFk report in Dubai about everyone swapping porn in the cafes there?).

    Ok - you have to wonder at what point in our lives or our children’s lives that human interaction will cease and be replaced by technology.

    When we first heard of ‘txting’ - we thought, ok this is pretty cool. Text’ing turned in to a phenomenon now known worldwide as SMS and it’s because of these little back and fourth messages of once a limited character amount that we as humans have stopped verbally interacting as we used to. Ok, we all know this - so what next?

    Nokia have just released what they call the Nokia Sensor Bluetooth widget (yes, widget - I thought they only came in beer cans too).

    The point of Nokia Sensor? No longer do we have to fumble with our words with first impressions when chatting to that hot thing standing across the room. Nokia Sensor does it all for us. It’s been described as ’social bluetooth smartphone application’, it’s free to download and it’s currently available on Series 2.0+ phones.

    Acting as an agent by your side, Sensor interacts with phones of passers by as they enter in to your range. It passes on to their phone your profile and any other cheeky information you’d like to disclose. Upon setting up your own folio (essentially a homepage) you simply add your profile, photo(s), video, likes, dislikes etc etc and of course your own guestbook. Once your phone connects with another, the user can browse your profile and decide whether he or she is interested. At that point the faithful SMS comes in to play and you arrange to meet at the end of the bar.

    Nokia Sensor hosts an array of different features that will all soon add up to one factor amongst your mates - Who’s the most popular.

    then again 75% (if not higher) of communication is non-verbal…?

    Wow–this is very cool. Having lost a friend or two in some of the more palatial (in size only) clubs of Manhattan, I have longed for a way to be able to tell if I was getting close to finding them. Technology to the rescue! This device will make it easier to find not just potential lovers, but friends in crowds, bars, concerts, or, well, anywhere. Genius.
