In what could be considered the ultimate in wearable technology, a biohacker has inserted a computer under his skin.

The biometric sensor is fitted into German-based Tim Cannon's forearm - between his skin and tissue - and tracks changes in his body's temperature.

I want to live to be thousands of years old, I don't want to die and I don't know why anybody would.

'[The idea behind the sensor] is very fun. It's meant to capture people's imagination.'

Cannon added: 'We basically focus on the merging of man and machine.'

To insert the device, an incision was made on Cannon's forearm above an existing tattoo.

His skin was lifted and separated away from his tissue and the device was inserted into the pocket that was created before being sutured shut.
