Man Got Chip in his hand to make more use of iPhone 6

A Brisbane man is living the life of the future after having a microchip implanted under his skin so he can control electronic devices with just a wave of a hand.
Ben Slater had a radio-frequency identification microchip - which has similar measurements to a grain of rice - injected into his left hand through a syringe two weeks ago at a Melbourne tattoo parlour.
The advertising directors move comes as technology enthusiasts eagerly await the unveiling of the iPhone 6 in two days time.

Ben Slater has had a microchip inserted into his hand to allow him to open doors and switch on lights with the wave of his hand

Mr Slater said he did it because he had always been fascinated with the future of technology

It was inserted in a Melbourne tattoo parlour with a syringe containing the chip

In the U.S., the chip is used to store the medical information of people with illness

Mr Slater hopes the new generation iPhone 6 - which will be launched on September 6 - will have the capability to read the chip
