Experts from the Korea Institute for Science and Technology (KAIST) have found a way to transform the body into a power source that promises to have a significant impact on next-generation smart watch products.

According to Phone Arena, they use a thermal generator to draw energy from human skin.

This generator is printed on transparent and plastic material, allowing it to be an ideal device that comes with smart watches like Samsung's Galaxy Gear or Nike's physical activity watch.

According to KAIST, the generator is 10 times more powerful than similar generators, and can provide power for vehicles such as cars and planes.

The relationship between the wearable device and the human body is increasingly reinforced, with health monitoring products that can measure heart rate, movement and even evaluate the quality of sleep. wearing
