Getting a tattoo will no longer be a matter of taste or aesthetics, with Smart Tattoos We will level up as humans to control some functions of both the body and the world around us.
The development of these epidermal electronic systems is led by companies like Microsoft and Google and they can revolutionize the way we interact with the world.
What are they?
Smart tattoos are circuits and microprocessors attached to the skin with which you can “tie” some functions with apps to exercise, regulate body temperature, take care of your health or even interact with the world as we know it.
Tattoos by Microsoft
Duoskin It is the technology developed in conjunction with MIT and consists of a circuit attached to a gold leaf. Based on the philosophy of “flash tattoos”, this sheet has a design that is placed on the skin as if it were a water tattoo and can be removed whenever the person wishes. At the moment the duration of these smart tattoos is a few months and they can be connected to a smartphone via bluetooth to match their functions with some apps that are in development.
Tattoos by Google
On the part of Google, SkinMarks It is committed to making the body a touch surface to control devices such as our computer, smart tv, smartphone, among others. These Smart Tattoos are developed by researchers at the University of Saarland in Germany. Its operation is like the one already known in various devices: press them to do certain actions or slide our fingers to do the “scroll” action.
In this way, wearing a tattoo could evolve the way we control our environment or even be more precise in detecting physical anomalies thanks to the integration of these wearables with some apps that we already have installed on our smartphones.
