The new revolutionary bracelet, Cicret projects emails, videos and games and turns your arm into a touchscreen using a tiny built-in projector. Wearers of the of the Cicret bracelet will be able to check an email or watch a film that’s projected onto their forearm, and control the picture by using their skin like a touchscreen. It will also be possible for users to pair it with an existing smartphone, answer incoming phone calls and activate the speakerphone functionality on their smartphone.
A tiny projector in the bracelet will cast an image onto the skin, then eight long-range proximity sensors will detect every swipe, tap and pinch. The bracelet will also contain a USB port and accelerometer as well as supporting Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. It can sync with an iPhone but is designed to be a stand-alone device.It also features an accelerometer and a vibration module, along with an LED for notifications. Connectivity is provided by way of WiFi, Bluetooth and a Micro USB port. It is expected to be made available in 16 GB and 32 GB models.
The makers of the device say it can do anything a phone or tablet can, allowing wearers to read emails, surf the web, watch videos, play games and even make phone calls without relying on a conventional screen
Guillaume Pommier, who founded technology company Cicret with Pascal, his software developer father plans to put a 3G card [in the bracelet] to allow calls. He explained that the device may use a new technology that allows SIM details to be put into the hardware, instead of requiring its own SIM card.
Mr Pommier, said: “The Cicret bracelet is a revolutionary device which could completely change how we access information. The applications for the bracelet are vast, it will be able to do anything a phone or tablet can do but without the need for a hard screen. Not only is it more portable but it’s also more ecological too because it is the screen part of tablets and phones that is hard to dispose of. The amazing thing is that we haven’t invented anything new but have just combined two existing technologies to create something really special. We think the bracelet will revolutionize the technology world”.
