Mobile phone display for the forearm: Start-up company Cicret collects donations for a projector bracelet

A French startup is collecting donations for a projector wristband that projects a cell phone display onto the forearm. In this practical tip, we show you what the Cicret bracelet really can do.

Cicret Bracelet: Mobile phone display on the forearm

• The French startup Cicret has been collecting donations for a special kind of bracelet since 2014. The Cicret bracelet is designed to project the screen from your Android smartphone or iPhone onto the forearm.
• For this purpose, a small LED projector is built into the bracelet, which throws the display content onto the forearm like a projector. Laser sensors should also enable you to operate the virtual display on your forearm.
• The Cicret bracelet is charged via USB. A connection to the smartphone is established via WLAN and Bluetooth.

Donations for Cicret: when will the cell phone display for the forearm come?

• The donation goal of around $ 500, 000 was quickly achieved and far exceeded. The Cicret bracelet will later cost around 400 euros. Anyone who has donated will get it faster and cheaper.
• However, it seems that the entrepreneurs have taken a little too seriously with your idea. The finished product should actually come onto the market in 2016. In 2018 there is a reasonably mature prototype, but only as a photo.
• Conclusion: Cicret no longer accepts donations and that is probably a good thing. When and if the product will still be on the market is still completely unclear.
