We've seen some pretty crazy patents filed in the past few months, and simultaneously, wearables are becoming more and more popular in the mobile device industry.
But it still may be a bit surprising to find out that Motorola has just filed a patent for a “smart tattoo” which would be placed on one's throat, and would act as a microphone to improve voice quality so well that you would be nearly crystal clear on the other end.
Most of these far-out patents don't go into too much detail about how they will work, but Motorola's filing actually gets pretty extensive. Hit the source link below for more information.
A lot of people think this idea is extremely ridiculous, and this could never possibly reach the market and be successful, but we have certainly been surprised before.

Ha, the newest thing in ‘Always On’ tech. That way even what we say in our sleep will be intercepted..wait…my tin-foil hat fell off. There… that’s better.
Seriously though, I wonder how much damage the whole NSA dog-and-pony-show is doing to Intellectual properties currently in development that are now potentially devalued and/or become fodder for NSA jokes instead of getting serious consideration – especially for those relying on venture capital…
The future is crazy haha
Cyberpunk. Awesome!
Wow, permanent disfigurement to just to be able to talk on a cell phone more clearly. Then the next year they’ll come up with implantable microphones, and then we’ll all look silly.
Market opportunity for the newest Zap-It laser tattoo remover. Available at fine stores everywhere….
