Beauty Technology Beauty technology are wearable devices that act as removable and hidden electronics attached to body

Beauty technology are wearable devices that act as removable and hidden electronics attached to body surfaces enabling wearers to interact with the digital world without interfering in everyday activities. In particular, the term includes electronics embedded into beauty products. Common beauty products are easy to attach and remove, are designed ergonomically for human bodies, are widely availabl

e and their main goal is to enhance physical appearance. This work adapted beauty products and embedded electronics for increasing the possibilities for wearers to interact with the world. False eyelashes, false nails, conductive makeup and capacitance tattoos are some examples of beauty products that were adapted with electronic components in order to create actuators that communicate with the wearer, other objects and the virtual world.

Thanks Phys.org for the post about The Dermal Abyss.

Harvard and MIT researchers have developed smart tattoo ink capable of monitoring health by changing color to tell an athlete if she is dehydrated or a diabetic if his blood sugar rises.
