Adventures in Convergence XXV: Miami Ink, Meet Motorola
Just discovered - in a Greener Gadgets forum of all places - a digital tattoo interface that actually has some real potential. A flexible silicon/silicone responsive display is injected and unrolled just under the dermis. The silicon layer controls an injected array of "ink" just above it to display black and white (or peach, or whatever your complexion is). How does it receive information? It's Bluetooth enabled so the display can interact with your cell or PMP to display video or receive calls. How is it powered? By jacking into your body's own arterial network. How awesome is it? Pretty awesome.Labels: convergence

That is freakin awesome. Until her arm grows into a tumor-laden hammerhead.

OMFG!
...haha..i agree w/ Betsy!
I wonder what the consequences would be of injecting silicone into your subcutaneous layer would be? ...moreover, what toll would that take on arterial blood supply? how safe is this?
and LEAST important of all (i'm surprised i'm even mentioning this) how cosmetically unsightly would it be once someone used it for a lifetime..would there be a callous? or a GIANT BLACK HOLE?! :P *overdramaticizes*
