Mobile Technology Merged with Body Art
21 November 2006 by axxxr
What would happen if current trends in tattoo art and body modification were to converge with our technology tools? What if we could use our bodies as interaction platforms?
Frog Design gave free reign to its imagination and came up with Datoos (DNA tatoos) as a futuristic answer. "The concept of the Dattoo arose in response to current trends towards increasing connectivity and technology as self-expression. To realize a state of constant, seamless connectivity and computability required the convergence of technology and self. The body would need to literally become the interface. Computers and communication devices require physical space, surfaces, and energy. The idea of DNA tattoos (Dattoos) is to use the body itself as hardware and interaction platform, through the use of minimally-invasive, recyclable materials." This may sound rather outlandish, but will we see body-technologies emerge sometime in the future?After all, the description of a mobile phone would have sounded implausible in the not-too-distant past. source:threeblog

On 24 Nov 12:55 dave wrote Interesting idea, but I'm not convinced... technology changes so fast you would be out of date in a couple of years and how would one "upgrade"? @Valey I like the sound of that watch tho. any links?
