Using Cosmetics to Control Gadgets
One of the most intriguing developments to come out of the recent ACM Interactive Tabletops and Surfaces Conference is new work from the Brazilian scientist, Katia Vega, who offered up something called "electro-cosmetics", or the field of research into controlling electronics using cosmetic make-up. Using facial cues the make-up is activated, controlling different electronic devices remotely. And, it doesn't stop there. Vega is even developing an RFID tagged set of fingernails that can be used to DJ music by moving them through a contained body of water.
Why it's relevant:
The world of connectivity and wearable technology is changing rapidly. With this new technology, you no longer need a gadget to control a gadget. It's all about what you wear.
