I dont have any tattoos and I dont have any actual plans to get one, but the possibility has always appealed to me. What would I get, though? Ive considered the Daredevil logo, as Im big fan of the character and it would double as my initials. Theres also a quote from Farenheit 451 that I really like, so maybe just a small, out-the-way scribbling of that that I could glance at every now and then.
Or maybe a tattoo on my throat that could double as a smartphone microphone, like the ones that Motorola want us to wear.
The folks over at Engadget have stumbled across a Motorola patent application that shows the company is looking into a new form of wearable tech: a microphone, complete with transceiver and power supply, that is nestled away in a throat tattoo.
The idea is that the you would get sound completely free of background noise and that sound would be transmitted to a mobile device via Bluetooth, NFC, or something similar. The patent also mentions the possibility of other animals using the tech. Welcome to the future! The horrifying future.
