DuoSkin: The First Step in Wearable Human Computing Interfaces Turn Your Skin Into An Interface

MIT in collaboration with Microsoft Research have developed DuoSkin. DuoSkin is a fabrication process that enables anyone to create customized functional devices that can be attached directly to the skin. Using gold leaf, the engineers were able to make three classes of DuoSkin that function as inputs, outputs and communication devices. The input devices can … Continue reading DuoSkin: The First Step in Wearable Human Computing Interfaces Turn Your Skin Into An Interface

MIT’s Color-Changing Ink Could Be Perfect For Tattoos And for Diabetics

Researchers at MIT and Harvard Medical School have developed color-changing tattoo ink that responds to variations in bodily fluid. Dermal Abyss is a proof-of-concept from MIT that turns the body’s surface into an interactive display. “It blends advances in biotechnology with traditional methods in tattoo artistry,” the scientists said, emphasizing that “this is a research project,” … Continue reading MIT’s Color-Changing Ink Could Be Perfect For Tattoos And for Diabetics

MIT Scientists Invent Reprogrammable Color Changing Ink.

What if you could customize your clothes, vehicles, and other possessions on a whim? MIT scientists have come closer to making every DIYer’s dream a reality with the invention of a new spray-on ink that can change colors and patterns. Scientists at MIT‘s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have created “Photo-Chromeleon Ink”. The new ink mixes cyan, magenta and yellow photochromic dyes … Continue reading MIT Scientists Invent Reprogrammable Color Changing Ink.
