CIRCET BRACELET can change your arm into a Tablet

A new Cicret bracelet can detect your
gestures and projects a screen onto
the skin, so you can take calls, check
your emails, read books, all from your
arm.
Designed by Paris-based design
company, the prototype bracelet can
remotely connect with a mobile
device and emits the interface onto
the wearer’s arm. The prototype
comes with a projector and a row of
eight proximity sensors that pick up
your finger movements allowing you
to read emails, play games, answer
calls and check the weather on the
surface of the skin.
The device will be packed with an
accelerometer and a vibration
module, along with an LED for
notifications. The device will support
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a Micro USB port
for connectivity.
The company has shared a
promotional video on its site which
has got over 3 million views on
YouTube. The video shows the
physical interaction between user and
product, with the user swiping and
tapping through the various
applications and communicating with
their smartphone via their forearm.
However the company has clarified
that the prototype will be ready in

the next 2-3 weeks and the images
shown in the video are mocked up,
for demonstration purpose only.
Cicret is expected to hit the mass
market in June 2015 and will be
available in 16GB and 32GB models,
costing upwards of $400 (£250). The
company aims to raise the money for
the device through crowdfunding and
is asking users to donate directly
through their website.
Wearable tech has been labeled “the
next big thing” and according to a
report by Credit Suisse the industry
was set to grow from around $3
billion to $5 billion this year and will
reach $50 billion within five years.
Apple's iWatch is expected to trigger
the next change in wearable industry,
tripling it in the next year.
