Digital Tattoo: Cellphone Display Concept Designed for Dracula Is Bloody, Ridiculous

Don't know if I like this one at all..

 

 

Cellphone Display Concept Designed for Dracula Is Bloody, Ridiculous

 

Here's a design that Dracula would love: a subcutaneously-implanted, wireless digital tattoo display whose fuel cell is powered by blood. An entrant into the same Greener Design Competition as the gravity clock, the concept uses Bluetooth to communicate with your portable gadgets—or even devices implanted elsewhere in your body.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jim Mielke's concept would be implanted beneath the skin on your arm. It then taps into your bloodstream, converting the oxygen and glucose into electric power. The display then "works" by changing the color of smart-ink pixels tattooed over the implant. It also acts as a touchscreen input device, so you could manage your cellphone calls by tapping on your arm. Most creepily, there's potential for a 3G video call to be shown on your skin.

What with this blood-powered idea, the urine rubber and the blood pen, there's clearly a rich vein (ahem) of bodily-fluid-related ideas out there for inventors to tap into. Let's hope this one remains just a concept, though: I'd hate to have to shave my arm to get good quality video from my tattoo.

No, probably not a two way line, but a one way line so the state know exactly where you are and what you are doing.Den 27/02/2008 kl. 22.14 skrev Lynn Ward:At 03:24 PM 2/27/2008, you wrote:Ick - what's next, a cell phone implanted into your head?Don't know if I like this one at all..
