A South Korean firm says it is developing a mobile phone which allows users to feel broadcasts as well as seeing and hearing them.

'We have developed new mobile phone technology which adds the  sense of touch to the traditional modes of sight and hearing,' said a spokesman for LG Electronics.

The phone can vibrate when a shot hits the net in a football  game or a car hits the wall in a TV drama, he said.

LG plans to market new models using the three-dimensional and sensing technology next year after securing content.
