Skin deep tech: Cicret bracelet aims to turn your arm into 'new tablet'

I love new technology. This is real SIFI stuff. Obviously its a concept at the moment and the vid is CGI.

Reading emails on your skin may sound wacky, but not for the French designers working on a bracelet that projects your smartphone content onto your arm. To turn the surreal Cicret device into reality, the designers are seeking funding.

The Cicret, activated with a twist of the wrist, is equipped with an embedded memory card, processor, accelerometer, micro USB port, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. But the key part is the so-called "pico-projector" and an array of proximity sensors. The pico projector projects the interface onto your arm. When you put your finger on the interface, you stop one of eight proximity sensors. The sensor sends the information back to the processor in your Circet bracelet.

Its fake? I thought it was real. I feel dumb now.

See this about 2 weeks ago...



Not impressed to be honest.


The design is flawed imo.
Too easy to damage...
They don't even have a prototype.


& the way it turns on looks like a fantasy.
I'm not surprised it's CGI.

That would have to be a pretty bright projector for me to make anything out over my tattoos.....

I could start a new fashion trend! You, my friend, are an absolute genius! Lol

Wiener Cicret. Not intended for use by black folks.

Now that is pretty cool if real. I looked up a few articles which indicates its real.

Don't know how well that would work on my hairy arms though. My wrists aren't to bad. Lets put it this way I would be more inclined to get that over an I watch. I think it is made to work in conjunction with an I watch or phone as an interface. I like the idea of it.

So it turns on with a shake of the wrist. The problem as I see it is that when using this for porn, it would keep turning off and on, off and on, off and on.

Any flexible fabric would crinkle up. They would need something like a metal cuffs.

Imagine being able to have a scrolling map of the Metro or rail network on your wrist, or even buying tickets without having to take out a wallet. This company makes pre-printed metal cuff maps:

Hmmm....

It wouldn't be able to project black, so much of what we are used to with similar devices such as phones and tablets would not be there.

Also, I'm sure we've all seen those projected keyboards and such, but this just couldn't work.

Not high enough to project that far onto the arm.

It just wouldn't work as they make it look like it would.
