Sick of remembering all of your passwords? Your frustration
may be solved. Motorola‘s vision for mobile isn’t just its new smartphone
- the Google company also has wearable, tattoo-embedded, and swallowable
gadgets in the works.
Recently, Advanced Technology and Projects Group Chief
Regina Dugan attended D11 with an electronic tattoo that could be worn on
human skin for one week at a time, and used to cut through the numerous authentication
processes we go through every day. Slashgear
reported that the tattoos use a stretchable electronics system that can work
even as it flexes on a moving arm. (Crazy, right?) There has been some
criticism of wearable tech like that young people won’t wear them, but she believes
it is far more likely they would wear a digital tattoo.

The digital tattoo is not the only high-tech security system
Motorola has up its sleeve.
“I take a vitamin every morning: what if I could take an
authentication vitamin?” Dugan said. The proteus smart-pill contains a switch
and an inside-out potato battery that creates electricity from the chemical
processes that take place when swallowed, resulting in the switch creating an
18-bit ECG-like signal.
“Essentially your entire body becomes an authentication
token,” she explained.
None of the projects Dugan and her team are working on will arrive
any time soon. First up, is the Moto X smartphone, which the company Chief
Dennis Woodside said is due to out late this year.
