It seems that smart tattoos in the coming years will become, if not an ordinary thing like smart watches, then certainly a fairly popular trend in the IT field. More recently, we wrote about the creation of multi-layered smart tattoos in Japan, and now there is information that the Chaotic Moon company is developing a project of smart tattoos with electrodes called Tech Tats.
Tech Tats are applied to the skin in the following way: first, a microcontroller and several LED indicators are installed in the place of the future tattoo. Then a layer of electrically conductive paint is applied on top of it all, and the data is transmitted to any electronic device using wireless technology. Moreover, the shape, size and color of the picture can be very diverse. Now Tech Tats are able to measure a person's pressure, as well as his body temperature, but representatives of the Chaotic Moon company plan to significantly expand the functionality of their invention in the future. The company's programmers plan to equip tattoos with functions for recognizing various conditions of the body: stress, fear, heart rate, and so on.
The developers of Tech Tats call their invention a "fashionable and useful accessory" and hope that in the future such tattoos can partially replace smartphones, helping to track the location of lost young children, used as controls for various devices and even as a microphone when applied to a person's throat. You can learn more about the new technology using the video below.
