MIT researchers have created tattoos that function as interfaces for smartphones and other digital devices. These tattoos can receive and send information, serving as wearable devices that add a personal touch of style. The tattoos rely on gold leaf to sense a person's touch, heat a display and communicate with other devices. The tattoos can connect wirelessly with smartphones through NFC, a type of technology used for mobile payments at retailers and elsewhere. The tattoo is powered by a lithium polymer battery and the brains of the operation is a small computing chip. The concept comes from Cindy Hsin-Liu Kao -- a PhD student at the MIT Media Lab -- that grew out of an internship at Microsoft Research last summer. Kao has envisioned an end of the one-size-fits-all world of wearables; one where everyone uses nearly identical smartphones or smartwatches.

This part concerns me. I can see hackers having this. As far as it turning into the mark ... prophecy says something will be the mark. Nothing can change that.

But I am thinking it will be very popular knowing our world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
