Motorola patents skin tattoo throat mic for its devices
Seems like that the times when mobile phones were identical,
homogenous devices are going to be past soon. With technologies like
finger scanner, iris scanner etc one can now make the device highly
personalized and secure. Taking this trend to the next level, companies
like Motorola are fiddling with the idea of haptic tattoos to be
embedded into smartphones.
In the coming days, you may use your own skin tattoo to let your Motorola smartphone identify you and collect various biological data from your body. To take the concept to the next level, Motorola is aiming to use these skin tattoos as throat mics which can record your voice, store it onto the phone and let various applications use this as input.
Currently, the Google owned company intends to improve the quality of voice in crowded and noisy environments, cut out an acoustic noise and pass on clean signals to the device for transmission to the other end.
Along with tattoo sticker, the device will have its own transceiver and antenna, microphone, signal processor, a power supply unit and even a small screen to ensure that your voice is not lost. The power supply unit will use a personal area network to get energizing signals to run all the time.
Getting too close for comfort for many. Motorola wants tattoo mic to have galvanic skin response detector to detect skin resistance of a user. Hence, activities and reflexes like nervousness, anxiety or panic may be captured and abstracts like falsehood may be detected, just like a lie-detector.
Motorola is so convinced about the technology that it has attained patent for the same. However, it still needs to convince the buyers regarding the same but we highly doubt that Google and Motorola will have an issue doing that.
