Smart Tattoos Could Change Color, Indicate Health Issues

FTA:
Imagine a tattoo that could alert you if you need to apply sunscreen or if your blood sugar is low.

“The tattoo ink acts like a real-time indicator of your skin’s UV exposure,” Bruns explained. “So, if you see your tattoo, it basically means that you’re overexposed to sunlight and you need to wear sunscreen. If you put sunscreen on, it’ll disappear and you’ll know you’re safe.”

Sun protection tattoos are just the beginning. Bruns and his team are also working on tattoos that could help doctors diagnose illnesses and alert people to changes in their blood chemistry.

The Making of a Computer-Generated Influencer

FTA:
She is also entirely fake, a computer-generated character who—despite what she says on Instagram—can’t feel the pain of a hangover or appreciate how hard it is to walk in stilettos.

Miquela was created by a Los Angeles startup called Brud, which is betting that it can turn her and an expanding group of CGI-based social-media personalities into a cast of characters that is one part Marvel Comics and one part Kardashian. Like comic-book characters or even Barbie, they can evolve with the times without aging. And their drama can be managed.

“You can create the Kardashians without any of the inherent issues that come with being human,” said Cyan Banister, a partner at Founders Fund, which put in $100,000 for Brud’s seed round in May 2017.
