Hear me out, implanted lie detectors with displays tattooed into the foreheads of politicians.
That is so cool. I wonder if this allows for printing images with some kind of 3d printer like thing with a weak uv laser
Got me in mind of the people nowadays "renting space" across their body - this would be an ultimate form ...
I'll have to read up on this. I wonder about it as a kind of e-ink?
I'm sure there are a bunch of differences, but fun to think about perhaps.
