Experimental divisions at Google have been working on the next generation of wearables.
As noted by CNET, the tech giant has quietly been funding or conducting its own research into a host of new wearables devices including an entirely novel 'smart tattoo' that turns one's skin into a temporary touchpad.
The technology, called SkinMarks, is being developed by Google and researchers at Saarland University in Germany and uses a small patch loaded with sensors.
SkinMarks use conductive ink which is printed onto tattoo paper and then applied to the side of one's finger or knuckles.
