Green, Blue[tooth] and Tattooed

Okay.  We totally believe everything is media, but this one just Tickled Our Fancy:

a digital skin tattoo that acts as an interface for your mobile phone.  While it is at, it also monitors your blood sugar levels and communicates with any ordinary Bluetooth device you happen to be near – and ooooh - it’s powered by a “blood fuel cell” - the oxygen and glucose in your body.

Among many amazing entries in the Green Design contest, this digital tattoo interface is noteworthy and oh so modern media-ish.

It operates with a Bluetooth implant below the skin that activates a matrix of pixels tattooed on the skin – for mundane things like calling or texting.  When activated the “ink” lights up on the skin displaying the mobile phone’s digital display – and it goes away when not in use.  The implant is a “touch screen” device, so pressing on the skin “display” commands the device.  The ink is actually a matrix of microscopic spheres each filled with a material that changes from clear to black when a field in the matrix is turned on.

Your in-bod Bluetooth device communicates, as usual with the ordinary wireless world or any other sci-fi inspired implanted device.

We love this description of the project (especially the pizza part).

"It is always present, always on, but out of sight and non-obtrusive. It also continually monitors for many blood disorders, alerting the person of a health problem: A human version of the check engine light. Product styling is the latest and coolest downloaded display interface showing on any tattoo on the block. This product is waterproof and it is powered by pizza."

Bluetooth Pen for Mobile Phone

The Nokia HP digital pen is a way to add your signature touch (literally) to your mobile multimedia messages. The pen connects wirelessly via Bluetooth to your compatible mobile phone so you can MMS/SMS handwritten notes to other mobile phones. But, wait! It also acts as, yes - a pen - but with a twist; it records and stores what you write by taking thousands of digital “pictures” as you write. When you are back at your computer you can upload your notes or sketches.
