“Google SkinMarks Could Turn Our Bodies Into a Touchpad Using High-Tech Tattoos”
July 27th, 2020Mmm hmm.
Via: TechRadar:
Google has been researching the possibilities of using rub-on tattoos to transform your skin into a fully-functioning touchpad.
Dubbed SkinMarks, the tattoos are packed with sensors and can be applied to curved areas of the body such as the knuckles. They aren’t as elaborate as you’d find at your local ink parlor, but some can feature light up displays, if that’s what you were after.
The SkinMarks tattoos can be triggered by tapping or by using swipe gestures, just like you’re used to on your smartphone. Some of the tattoos can be activated by more natural and instinctive fine motor skills, though, like bending your fingers.
