A recent Greener Gadgets Design Competition yields a concept that blurs the line between science fiction and reality. Engineer Jim Mielke demonstrated a “Digital Tattoo Interface” technology, which inserts a touch-based display underneath the skin. A tightly-rolled unit made of thin, flexible silicone is inserted into the skin where it unfurls into a full display. It is powered by blood flow as it is attached to an artery and vein using a blood fuel cell that turns glucose and oxygen into electricity. Once connected, a “tattoo” that looks like a cell phone display appears on the skin.
