I remember reading about a group of researchers many years ago who had developed a subdermal LED screen that could be implanted and ran off of the oxygen in your blood stream via a tiny turbine or something.
I remember this. It was like 10 years ago or so. I had a friend of mine in design school who wanted to use it to make a subdermal PipBoy. I convinced him it wouldn’t be worth it because he’d probably be taking antibiotics and anti-rejection meds for the rest of his life. Also, the flight to Japan and the surgery wasn’t in his project budget. Our professor was also skeptical.
instead, he made an actual PipBoy out of a 3-D printed model and a disused Android phone. It’s was… functional. he made a revised version out of a raspberryPi and an LCD touchscreen. That worked much better. All programmed from scratch using nodeJS libraries. It was pretty impressive for what it was.
Oooo, now that’s different.
If tattoos could move… but only a little… like, just a small, subtle motion, it could give them a whole new mystique…
