here is an artwork showing the possible workings of the scientifically correct omnitrix. i did a brief explanation in the announcement artwork of "BEN 10 IN THE REAL LIFE" but, at that time i didn't have that much knowledge, so i ended up making a lot of mistakes, and the lack of details simply makes me sick, so, this is a more in-depth remake.

CONNECTION WITH THE USER: the omitrix connects to the user (similar to a cybernetic prosthesis).
it tracks the user's heart rate and adrenaline levels by combining Photoelectric Plethysmography and Heart Rate Variability technologies.
this is useful to know when it is possible to start the transformation process. another thing that the omnitrix does is to observe the user speaking, thus learning his language, and being able to communicate. until this point, the user cannot transform. then, with everything ready, the "clock" will ask the user his location and planet. The omnitrix has practically all the most intelligent life forms in the universe, however, depending on the characteristics of the region and planet, the omnitrix will separate all life forms capable of surviving in the world and biome where the user is.
The omnitrix will calculate the user's location at all times, allowing it to select other life forms that can survive in the environment.

INTERFACE: to activate the omnitrix, the user must click on the glowing green button on the side of the clock. omnitrix generates an ologram of the life forms (that's why the ominitrix has little parts that glow on the omnitrix).
to select the desired life form, the user has to put his two fingers on the central icon, so that several life forms are passing by. when the life form is selected, the central icon goes up, and to start the transformation process, the user has to click on the icon (in this case, tap on it, because (for some reason) ben loves to do that).

THE TRANFORMATION PROCESS: the omnitrix does 3 things at the same time to transform the user:

1. inject immunosuppressants: human organism is very defensive, and makes anything our immune system perceives as "invader" to be totally eliminated.

so, for the "DNA modification", the omnitrix injects immunosuppressants, which will slow down the user's immune system, allowing transformation.

2. the omnivirus: the "omnivirus" is a virus genetically modified with (instead of its own) the DNA of other life forms.

in case you don't know how viruses reproduce, let me explain: Viruses reproduce only inside the cell of a host, since they have no metabolism of their own. When they reach a cell and parasitize it, a series of processes occur until the virus manages to make the cell work in its favor, causing it to produce more of the virus DNA, causing new viruses to emerge.

BUT, in the case of omnivirus, as it has the DNA of other life forms, it will not reproduce, but will produce the cells of the desired life form.

the omnitrix has areas a little below the main icon that are tubes full of omnivirus, each tube having billions of omnivirus, but only a part of them is injected into the user's body.
Each tube has a different version of the omnivirus, with each version having the DNA of a different species.
every 20 years, the omnitrix needs to be reloaded with more omnivirus.
the user's DNA is also placed in a specific version of the omnivirus, which serves to transform it back into a human.
The omnivirus tubes have a few different types of the same version of the omnivirus, for example, one part for the designated nails,
producing only the nail cells, another for the hair and hair, another for vital organs, and so on.
the omnivirus is ephemeral, and is genetically programmed to stop reproducing at a certain point.

in the middle of all this, the omnitrix releases various types of analgesics into the user's body (because transforming must hurt like hell).

3. CRISPR: CRISPR is a revolutionary gene editing technique because it is based on the discovery that Cas proteins cut DNA provided they are given a suitable recognition RNA. Since RNA can be synthesized in the laboratory, the editing possibilities are virtually endless.

the omnitrix makes ben's body more "malleable" and more susceptible to bodily changes using this technique.
as galvanians are a civilization a thousand times more advanced than human civilization, they have already mastered this technique much more than we (who discovered CRISPR only a few years ago).

the omnitrix wristband (at the bottom) is made of a material called "graphene", which stretches to fit any life form in the omnitrix and the wearer itself.
the omnitrix also disconnects from the user's human DNA, but it's still there, it just doesn't express itself anymore.

so technically, aliens are all hybrids.

TIME: the time taken for transformation is varied. it depends on the complexity and morphological differences of the user to the life form.

well, that's it for now my friends.
remembering that this is all speculation, so if you have information that helps make omnitrx more realistic, please comment!
