Exploring Human-Integrated Technology
Real-world experiments in sub dermal NFC, RFID, and magnetic interface systems.
Over the past few years, I’ve self-implanted four microchips to explore real-world applications of subdermal technology. These chips aren’t just for show — they’re functional tools I use for authentication, access control, and sensory feedback.
This project represents a hands-on, long-term experiment in how humans can interface with machines — not just externally, but internally. It’s part of my larger goal to merge artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and embedded systems into seamless human-tech interaction.
There are moments where I forget they’re there. Then I tap my hand to unlock a door or light up a reader, and I’m reminded that this is real. It’s easy to talk about “the future of tech” — harder to live it. But this is my version of showing up for it.
Below is my current implant layout!
Left Hand
• xSIID (NFC + LED) Links to my resume site via tap. Glows when scanned.
• xG3 v1 (Magnet) Passive sensing of EM fields. Placed in the thumb-index webbing.
Right Hand
• NExT (NFC + RFID) Cloned gym key (T5577). Dual-frequency implant.
• xG3 v2 (Magnet) Improved feedback and lifting. Also placed in webbing.
Functionality
• Subdermal authentication
• NFC-based data sharing
• Magnetic environmental feedback
• Prototype- friendly placement for future experiments
Use Cases
What is the purpose?
- Unlocking doors: My NExT chip is cloned with my gym’s RFID keycard.
- Resume access: My xSIID chip opens my resume site when tapped with a phone.
- Magnetic sensing: My xG3 implants offer passive haptic feedback when near devices like speakers, motors, or transformers.
Lessons Learned
- Implant placement is critical — poor placement affects functionality, especially with magnets.
- RFID systems vary — exact chip and reader compatibility matters when cloning or reading.
- NFC offers intuitive interface potential — tap-to-trigger concepts are fast and seamless.
- Biocompatibility and durability: All four implants remain stable and functional after 2+ years.
Future Plans
- Build a secure NFC lock using xSIID authentication
- Develop a 2FA system using two implants (NFC + RFID)
- Explore subdermal encryption and implantable crypto wallets
- Experiment with magnetic haptic alerts in wearable systems
Why I'm Doing This
I believe the future of human-computer interaction goes beyond screens and wearables — it’s embedded. These implants are part of my mission to bridge artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and human-tech integration in ways that are seamless, secure, and intuitive.
I’m not just building with technology — I’m living with it.
