presenting the Digital Tattoo Interface

Don’t you just love this science-fictional world of ours? One minute you’re day-dreaming about what might be, then you turn on the internets and there it is. Case in point – this: the Digital Tattoo Interface, designed by Jim Mielke for the Greener Gadgets Competition:

Brian Wood’s DMZ – civil war comes to America, and New York is the DMZ. Adventure’s of a young embedded reporter there. Varies from great to amazing.
