3D Tech Tatts

'cranberryzero' Gets Himself a Unique Augmented Reality Tattoo

— May 4, 2011 — Tech
We will surely see a new wave of ink demands now that this augmented reality tattoo has hit the web. 'I Heart Chaos' user 'cranberryzero' was inspired to get this unique ink job done after his new Nintendo 3DS purchase, which boasts augmented reality games.

Basically, his augmented reality tattoo features a Nintendo augmented reality box that, when scanned, shows his little Nintendo 3DS Mii image popping out of his hand. Unfortunately, it does not work very well in very bright light such as sunlight, but the effect is pretty dramatic in dim lighting.

This Nintendo 3DS augmented reality tattoo was done by Colby at Blue Flame Tattoo in Raleigh, North Carolina. It's especially cool to see the results over video.
Trend Themes
1. Augmented Reality Tattoos - Augmented reality tattoos will become a new way for people to express themselves through body art, and provide new opportunities to create versatile and unique tattoo designs.
2. Interactive Tattoos - Interactive tattoos, like the augmented reality tattoo showcased in the article, will become increasingly popular as they add a new level of technology and interactivity to body art.
3. Tech-integrated Body Art - Body art that incorporates technology, like the augmented reality tattoo, will become more commonplace and will blur the lines between traditional art and cutting-edge tech.
Industry Implications
1. Tattoo Industry - The tattoo industry will need to adapt to new technology and trends, like augmented reality tattoos, in order to stay relevant and meet the demands of their customers.
2. Gaming Industry - The gaming industry may see opportunities to collaborate with tattoo artists and integrate their games into interactive tattoos, creating a new form of gaming experience for their players.
3. Technology Industry - The technology industry can explore new ways to integrate their products and services into body art, potentially creating a whole new market for wearable tech and augmented reality products.
