The company behind the Fitbit, NewDealDesign, has answered a conceptual design challenge with what it sees as the next step in wearable tech, Project Underskin.
Online design website Co.Design, as part of a week focusing on wearable tech, asked NewDealDesign to imagine what the tech would look like when it reached "beyond the wrist."
The resulting Project Underskin is a "smart digital tattoo," which would be implanted into your hand. Things like unlocking doors using NFC technology, tracking the body's health, or exchanging information through a handshake, are all done through touch. Cooler still is that the technology to create such a device, given the current state and pace of electronics research, could be a reality in as little as five years, said NDD.
