Once worn on your wrist, a small light beam on the device, known as the Cicret Bracelet, would project your Android homepage right on your forearm.
Basically, your arm essentially becomes a fully interactive display - swipeable, touch-sensitive and full-colour - that allows you to make or receive phone calls and read and send emails, the Entrepreneur reported
This skin tablet the device uses an embedded system that includes a microprocessor, a memory card, a micro USB port, a small battery, a Bluetooth chip, a WiFi chip as well as a LED light.
The memory card comes in either 16GB or 32GB format and with 10 different colours.A beta version of the free app is available on Google Play.
The Cicret development team is currently seeking to raise $1 million to get its project off the ground.
Reasonably new tech such as tablets and even the Apple Watch could soon be obsolete – and replaced by a humble bracelet.
Or at least, that's the dream of French startup Cicret, who reckon that our SKIN will be the smart device screen of the future.
They've been working for the past 12 months on a prototype wristband that will project images on to your arm, turning it into a mini tablet screen.
It’ll be armed (geddit?) with a projector and a row of eight proximity sensors that will pick up your finger movements as you tap, pinch and slide to your heart’s content.
Look!
For such a small device, it’ll be packed with an array of features, including an accelerometer and a vibration module, along with an LED for notifications.
Naturally there’ll be Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and Cicret say it’ll even have a Micro USB port.
The bracelet will be available in 16GB and 32GB models and should cost upwards of $400 (£250) when it hits the mass market in about a year and a half.
