Beauty Technology - RFIDs fingernails, conductive makeup and more

       

I was looking up some material on Human Activity Recognition, which in itself is pretty cool, but saw this on Beauty Technology. The researcher is Brazilian, Katia Canepa Vega (http://katiavega.com/).  This might just interest some non-typical CS students.  

I'd been thinking for awhile (since 1995), about our computing/communicating devices moving to watches and other jewelry, then to band-aids, and finally to embedded RFIDs.  But  finger nails and removable tatoos seem like such obvious ideas, yet they never occurred to me. And I never saw this anywhere else.  10 points for diversity!
