Google owned Motorola has submitted a patent application for a mic being tattooed right onto the throat of the user.
Technology is being transformed by technology companies to a level unimagined. From the touch screen mobile phones to Smartphones, from smart glasses to data transfer at 10GBps we are being swept time and again by ingenious of these companies. Now a new entry in the arena is a microphone that is going to be installed right onto your throat by a tattoo.
Motorola submitted a patent back in 2012 that was published this Thursday which stated the innovation in following words
The electronic skin tattoo can include an embedded microphone; a transceiver for enabling wireless communication with the MCD (mobile communication device); and a power supply configured to receive energizing signals from a personal area network associated with the MCD. A controller is communicatively coupled to the power supply. The controller can be configured to receive a signal from the MCD to initiate reception of an audio stream picked up from the throat region of the body for subsequent audio detection by the MCD under an improved signal-to-noise ratio than without the employment of the electronic skin tattoo. image
Apart from the pain of that needle and ink being injected it is going to be cool as well as exciting. Fingers are crossed for the time when this idea actually hits the market.
