A new concept will allow content from our smartphones and tablets to be viewed on our skin. The French designers behind the so-called Cicret device are currently attempting to raise funds for it.

The Cicret bracelet is waterproof, and allows the wearer’s skin to double as a screen. All a user has to do is twist their wrist to activate it.
The bracelet is outfitted with something called a pico-projector, which displays a screen menu on an individual’s arm. Once the interface is seen on the skin, a person can swipe, scroll and type on their forearm.
The bracelet also has an accelerometer, processor, memory card, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, proximity sensors and a micro-USB port.
After touching one of the eight proximity sensors, the information is sent to the processor.
At this time, there is no functional prototype, something Cicret’s co-founder plans to release this month. They hope to launch the actual bracelet within a year and a half.
Once complete, it will be compatible with Android and iOS systems and sell for around $400.
