Bracelet that will turn the skin of your ARM into a tablet

With current wave and pace of tech, gadgets such as tablets and even the Apple Watch could soon be obsolete and replaced by a simple, humble bracelet.

That's the dream or future aspiration of French startup Cicret, who believe that our SKIN will be the smart device screen of the future.

The Company has 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 or smartphone screen.

The gadget will be armed with a projector and a row of 8 proximity sensors that will pick up your finger movements as you tap, pinch and slide to your heart’s content.

The only demerit to all of this is that it doesn't actually exist yet as most of the footage in that video is computer-generated, as confirmed by Cicret’s Guillaume Pommier in an interview with a cynical WTOP .

However, Cicret has reiterated that the first prototype will be ready in about three weeks’ time.

For such a small and unique device, it’ll be packed with an array of features, including an accelerometer and a vibration module, along with an LED for notifications.

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 above $400 (£250) when it hits the mass market in about a year and a half.

But will it happen? Is it technologically possible?

For now, we must keep our fingers crossed…
