With DuoSkin, MIT's Lab had created an interface that can replace the traditional buttons sliders, trackpads. The tattoo incorporates all these elements and the 2D touchpad on it will use "row-column scanning in a two-layer construction that isolates horizontal traces from vertical traces." It also brings soft displays on the skin using "thermochromic pigments," and the colour changes based on body heat. The DuoSkin device also uses NFC to allow wireless communication across devices, and the NFC tag chip connects to a coil on the tattoo.
