This is amazing technology being worked on! The implications are such that you could have your medical profile immediatly available to you...or to
emergency personal. What about having your palm pilot info or even the contents of your iPod display in this manner? It would truly make the iPod an
I-Pod.
This nanotech dermal display is a designer concept, based on real nanoscience principles. Seattle-based designer Gina Miller, working together with
nanotech populariser Robert A. Freitas Jr., describes the concept:
In his book Nanomedicine, Volume I: Basic Capabilities (available on the web at www.nanomedicine.com...), Robert A. Freitas Jr. describes
(in section 7.4.6.7 (page 204)) a "programmable dermal display" in which a population of about 3 billion display pixel robots would be permanently
implanted a fraction of a mm under the surface of the skin, covering a rectangle 6 cm x 5 cm on the back of the hand. Photons emitted by these pixel
bots would produce an image on the surface of the skin.

You can also go here for a Quicktime movie or to see the above images in high
resolution.
Or check out Gina Miller's Blog
Dermal Display
After months of work I am so pleased to announce that the project you have heard so much about on this blog is now complete. I had been working on
changes to the scene up to the very last minute, so now I am almost in shock that I am done! I was able to upload two Sorenson compressed versions
onto my website in .mov and .wmv formats for you to download. I have wondered why Sorenson does not have an .avi option, do any of you animators out
there know?
I also can see applications like having an image show. It would be like a tattoo except you could change it or make it go away at will. Man, you could
even advertise "I love ATS" across your forhead.
Simply amazing! This has got great potential.

Personally, I'd use this to watch movies in class, but, that's just me...
Über cool. I really wish I could live long enough to see half the threads in this forum come to fruition.

Thats actually pretty cool, all the different uses to, I wonder though, would this put the display business out of business, or atleast reduce it a
significant amount?
Also, I'd so get one if they were available.

Movies?!
What about everything you were supposed to learn?
Or having a live chat session with someone just asking them to look up the answers to the questions in your exams and sending them to your hand
display?
Or going on a gameshow and using something like this?
Watching Movies? Man your one heck of an under achiever! XD

Absolutely. Glad I wasn't the one to say it, though.  At any rate, no, I expect a lot of this should be out, but there's plenty of things
that, let's face it, they just won't be out when they could be out. Not for reasons of ability, but funding, interest, attention, and the like.
This is really really cool, but nation-building will take precedence, as will the education budget. There's no allocation in the budget for "OMG
This is really, really useful, applicable else, and AWESOME!"

Now there is the infamous US Black Budget. I would be very surprised if they didn't at least put 10% of it towards Nanotech as it will have HUGE
military implications. Nanotube armour powered by Nanotube wires with an Optronic Computer interface is where the Marines and Spec Ops seem to be
going. The Air force is looking into Aerostat technology and the only way that will ever meet the needs of the military is if they embrase Vacuum
filled Aerostats and that is only really possible with Nanotech.
That's technology that will be created, then used, and then dumbed down for civilian use in half a century. A few uses might come out immediately,
but they'll want to guard that prety quickly. Once we hit a certain point with these things, the flood gates are open, and there's no stopping it,
for better or for worse.
Other than that, though, I stand corrected. Assuming your sources are right, that is, which they usually are.

I hate to be the one to broach this topic, but when it comes to expanding digital technology, there always seems to be a new market for porn. This
could give a whole new meaning to Palm Pilot.

Grady, Grady, Grady 
Pilot to Palm Pilot, "We're cleared for take-off!" ? 
Back on topic ...
My concern is where, when and how this type of tech. will filter down to everyday Joe Public.
Conspirital sense would indicate just another means by which to monitor the masses. WOW! ... Look at that! ... What's your palm/id?

Man nanotech is just amazing When you look into the possibilities of what nanotech could do its simply incredible.
Nanotech could very well spark another industrial revolution and change the world in so many ways.
BTW this reminds me of the animated (talking) tattos I saw on Futurama. A absurd and comical idea I thought when I saw the show but now.......

From a mechanics point of view,
if I could reference schematics on the back of
my hand, or better yet, the top of my forearm,
this would be much better than hard-copy or
lap-top viewed schematics.
Speaking of, I'm thinking "lap-top" porn may
become something new, along with Grady's
"palm pilot".
Great thread.
