The biohackers illustrated 3 implants operations last Saturday done in Dusseldorf simultaneously.
The LEDs light up when activated by a magnet.
The insertions in Germany involved short surgical operations that took 15 minutes for the chip to get activated.
All the demonstrations were performed in very strict conditions.
On activation, backlights mimic bioluminescence or light up the tattoos.
The LED lights begin to blink if a gear has a magnet attached to it.
After 10 seconds, the LED lights go into sleep mood.
Speaking to Motherboard, the group said: We want to transform science fiction into reality.
To do so, its imperative that we have a decade-long study.
The people at Grindhouse Wetware arent career academics.
This is about passion and citizen science.
They contacted us because they wanted to light up their tattoos.
Thats how we generate our implants, we let the community inspire us.
They added For anyone who wonders what the point is for the gadget.
Obviously it would be easier to measure biomedical data with wearable technology instead.
These implants are to be launched somewhere next year.
There are also high chances of having severe allergic reaction triggered by the said hard metal.
So, it would be advisable to think before you put yourself under the knife.
