This was made possible after long research, that conclude subminiature electronic components between two protective layers of polyimide, that do not allow these components to deteriorate and the components, applied to human skin –were fully functional. Nanoengineers from USA argued, that the human skin can be assembled electronic devices of any complexity - from conventional sensors to mobile phones and computers. If further studies confirm the establishment of such electronic devices, it can lead to this technological revolution - will be possible to create human-cyborgs, greatly will expand the possibility of special services, and especially significantly will enhance the capacity of video games. Researchers have conducted experiments, when a special electronic device, assembled on the human skin in the form of tattoos, receive signals directly from muscles of man, when he spoke the simple commands to control cursor movement on a computer screen. Scientists are working with a new mouse for the computer - which is applied in the form of tattoos on human skin, and, taking signals from the muscles directly, automatically sends the cursor to the location on the screen, where a person directs his gaze.
