Wearable technology has got a sort of Adrenaline boost in the recent past. Following the almost saturation of the smartphone market, the technology industry is looking for the next cash cow and smart wearables seem to be the answer. We have seen a lot of different kinds of wearables coming to the market specializing in health, navigation and even drone controls. Now a new bracelet brings the wearable and smartphone experience together.
Cicret has introduced a small bracelet that projects an image on your skin that is touch accessible. The best possible response to that sentence is “sweeeet”. By simply twisting your wrists, the device projects an Android interface on your forearm after which it’s the usual smartphone experience.
The central bit to the Cicret bracelet is the pico projector along with eight proximity sensors. These sensors track the movement of the fingers on the projected image to give you the same experience as on the phone. You can pretty much take care of any task that you would normally do on your phone including sending emails, browsing, multimedia files and more.
The device is available in two storage options, i.e., 16 and 32GB. The connectivity options on the device include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Micro-USB port. It also features an accelerometer, vibration module and LED notification. The bracelet connects to your Android device using the Cicret App.
The one major drawback of this device is that it is not yet as responsive as the smartphone touch surface. The developers are working on the issue and will put the device up for pre-order in the coming future. This device shows the potential of wearables in bringing an ease in dealing with the massive screen menace around us. Maybe projectable displays will finally give us the convenience we are yearning for and will empty some of this load from our pockets. Also, as these devices are easier to insulate from water and dirt in comparison to the screen devices, they’ll probably be easier to carry around. This bracelet looks like a good first attempt; we shall now wait for Pranav Mistry’s sixth sense technology to become a reality. if you don't know what sixth sense technology is then here is a video for you as follows.
