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.

Very great interest also shown by investors from China and Taiwan.
