Scientific researchers have now found out that through the metallic tattoo, one can control computers and smartphones. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Microsoft have demonstrated technology that affixes gold leaf patterns to a person’s skin, creating a computer circuit.
The inexpensive material would be able to respond to touch, allowing its wearers to swipe as if on a computer’s track pad or smartphone touchscreen, to control the phone. This is called DuoSkin.
The gold leaf circuit connects to a small chip which is able to wirelessly beam a Bluetooth signal to a device, in the same way that a smartwatch or remote control does now.
