Programmable tattoos
By Sparky | June 7, 2006
Now this is cool - a mixture of e-ink technology with old fashioned body implants. Several researchers are looking at ways of implanting small displays under human skin to provide a wide range of interactive experiences to people via a “tattoo interface”.
The concept is not only cool from the POV of someone who wants a tattoo, but does not know what they want, but also someone like me who would like an external display for notifications - “You have new mail”!
I hope this hits the market in some reasonable timeframe because when it does (and enough other people have gotten it to prove that it won’t cause cancer) sign me up!
