Back to the description.<\/p>\n<p>The Cicret Bracelet is a small wristband that supposedly has the ability to turn the wearer\u2019s arm into a touchscreen. It sounds pretty cool to be able to give up your smartphone in an era dominated by them. The device works through a tiny embedded pico projector and a row of 8 proximity sensors built into the bracelet that point towards the user\u2019s forearm, reminding of the technology behind projected keyboards. These enable the Cicret system to detect the location and movement of the user\u2019s fingers, turning the surface of the skin into a touchscreen. The regular gestures apply: tap, swipe, and pinch.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-12275\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2014\/12\/Cicret-Bracelet-tech-specs-300x172.png\" alt=\"Cicret Bracelet - tech specs\" width=\"300\" height=\"172\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Cicret will operate as a standalone device and, when activated with a twist of the wrist, projects an Android interface onto the arm. The proximity sensors detect where the user\u2019s fingers are and allow them to interact with the interface as they would on any Android device. Furthermore, the device features an accelerometer and a vibration module, as well as an LED for notifications. Connectivity is provided by way of WiFi, Bluetooth and a Micro USB port. The bracelet will also have its own onboard storage of 16GB and 32GB.<\/p>\n<p>The bracelet will allow users to send and receive emails, browse the internet and play games. It will also be possible to pair it with a smartphone to answer incoming phone calls and activate the speakerphone functionality on the respective smartphone.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, even though the idea has sparked interest in many, it has also brought with is a big wave of skepticism. It wouldn\u2019t be a first, for either scenario. What it does though, is open a new range of possibilities in a world eager to see innovation in the use of wearable technologies. If Cicret will prove to be successful, we\u2019ll be hearing more about it in the course of 2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking back at the course of innovation in technology throughout 2014, it\u2019s clear that wearables have gained a lot of traction.
