Smart tattoos with electrodes. A step towards cyberneticization of a person or a tribute to fashion?
It seems that in the coming years, smart tattoos will become, if not an everyday thing like smart watches, then certainly quite a popular trend in the field of IT. Most recently, we wrote that Japan created multi-layered smart tattoos, and now it is reported that the company Chaotic Moon is developing a project of smart tattoos with electrodes called Tech Tats.
Tech Tats tattoos are applied to the skin as follows: first, a microcontroller and several LED indicators are installed at the site of a future tattoo. Then a layer of electrically conductive paint is applied on top of all this, and the data is transmitted to any electronic device using wireless technologies. The shape, size and color of the picture can be very diverse. Now Tech Tats are capable of measuring the pressure of a person, as well as the temperature of his body, but representatives of the company Chaotic Moon plan in the future to significantly expand the functionality of his invention. Programmers of the company plan to provide tattoos with functions for recognizing various states of the body: stress, fear, heart rate, and so on.
Tech Tats developers call their invention “fashionable and useful accessory” and hope that in future such tattoos will be able to partially replace smartphones, helping to track the location of lost young children, be used as controls for various devices, and even as a microphone when applied to a person’s throat.
