Hi, I am Tony Pelosi, a product director

3
00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:10.090 line:15% 
at BCG Digital Ventures and I am the project leader

4
00:00:10.090 --> 00:00:12.190 line:15% 
for the DuoSkin installation.

5
00:00:12.190 --> 00:00:14.080
The DuoSkin installation showcases

6
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:15.850
temporary tattoo technology developed

7
00:00:15.850 --> 00:00:18.020
at the MIT Media Lab as sensory input

8
00:00:18.020 --> 00:00:19.570
into a computing device.

9
00:00:19.570 --> 00:00:21.780
We are using the tattoos as buttons to operate

10
00:00:21.780 --> 00:00:24.260
a nostalgic video game running on the tablet.

11
00:00:24.260 --> 00:00:26.840
BCG is a member company of the MIT Media Lab.

12
00:00:26.840 --> 00:00:28.970
We work with them and other member companies

13
00:00:28.970 --> 00:00:31.070
to commercialize innovative technologies

14
00:00:31.070 --> 00:00:32.430
developed at the lab.

15
00:00:32.430 --> 00:00:34.110
The installation has three components;

16
00:00:34.110 --> 00:00:37.650
the tattoos, which uses a multi-step fabrication process

17
00:00:37.650 --> 00:00:39.950
including gold-leaf and silicon-based

18
00:00:39.950 --> 00:00:41.463
temporary tattoo paper,

19
00:00:42.330 --> 00:00:44.670
an Arduino controller connected to the tattoos

20
00:00:44.670 --> 00:00:47.790
using thin copper tape and a tablet which receives

21
00:00:47.790 --> 00:00:50.150
the instructions to operate the video game.

22
00:00:50.150 --> 00:00:52.760
DuoSkin can also be embedded with NFC chips

23
00:00:52.760 --> 00:00:55.270
for use as wearable identification tags

24
00:00:55.270 --> 00:00:57.710
or thermo-chromatics to reflect mood.

25
00:00:57.710 --> 00:01:00.610
There's a wide range of possibilities to use the technology

26
00:01:00.610 --> 00:01:03.410
as a form of expression to evoke emotion.

27
00:01:03.410 --> 00:01:05.600
DV designers have a penchant for marrying

28
00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:07.470
the physical and digital worlds.

29
00:01:07.470 --> 00:01:09.750
And this installation serves as an example

30
00:01:09.750 --> 00:01:11.430
of how these two worlds can come together

31
00:01:11.430 --> 00:01:13.300
in an elegant way.

32
00:01:13.300 --> 00:01:15.560
When you use creative purposeful design

33
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:16.910
to solve customer needs,

34
00:01:16.910 --> 00:01:19.430
and intersect it with a corporate advantage business model,

35
00:01:19.430 --> 00:01:21.670
you have a recipe for success.

36
00:01:21.670 --> 00:01:23.900
We hope this installation serves as inspiration

37
00:01:23.900 --> 00:01:25.560
for our colleagues and clients.
