In the future, you will be able to attach super thin digital displays to your skin to access your data. The e-skin developed by Takao Someya and his team at the University of Tokyo can be laid over anywhere on your body. It looks like a regular plastic wrap but has LEDs that last for several days. When connected to sensors, the display can show your pulse or other bio data.
