(via YouTube by DigitalWorldExpo)The augmentat was born on September 26th, 2011 at the first Digital World Expo held at the Mirage Events Center in Las Vegas, NV. The theory was that if image recognition could happen on a 2-D plane, it should be adaptable for a 3D canvas on live, living tissue. Thus the tattoo was created with specific image recognition points inherent in the design which were used for the custom reader to pick up. The reader referenced an executable file on the server and voila! AR technology is open to a whole new world of possibilities. This along with other experimental mediums can be seen at Digital World Expo each year.
