It is enough to have an original idea and a desire to bring it to life, and investors will find themselves developers across multiple platforms for the enthusiast. However, range online stores It replenished not only for ambitious beginners and old "dinosaurs" of the mobile market. And make a significant contribution to the scientists, which run in the new development, I am trying to make them attractive to the public and commercially successful. And one of these exciting new products, emerging from research laboratories, They are "smart" tattoo, that could potentially revolutionize the market of wearable electronics.
"Smart" tattoos - what a gimmick
Now tattoo is a tool, with which one can emphasize its originality. It has already lost its ritual significance, and only used for body decoration. But thanks to the MIT scientist simple drawing on the skin may become a high-tech device, which will allow people to remotely control various appliances and home electronics.
At the moment the technology is implemented as a temporary solution DuoSkin. To create a "smart" tattoos use a special substance, based on gold, which is applied to the skin layers, forming a three-dimensional structure, and full interaction with other gadgets provides NFC chip, sewn under the skin.

- Interactive communication device, Allows you to enter information and retrieve data from the tattoo.
Besides, each tattoo can be modified by adding additional thermochromic layers and miniature LED lamps.
Do you have future trends?
Unfortunately, many interesting discoveries, made in the walls of universities, and do not find practical application. But, seem to be, that the "smart" tattoo has the potential to become a mass product. By the process of development has already joined Microsoft, taking on further financing of the project. Very great interest also shown by investors from China and Taiwan. So that by the 2020 , the "smart" temporary tattoos of the sample can reach the mass market, then it will consider the creation on their basis of high-grade electronic implants.
