The Cicret Bracelet will be a water proof bracelet that displays
your smart phone’s screen right on your skin, in other words it basically makes
your skin a virtual touchscreen. The person using the Cicret Bracelet can read
e-mails, play their favorite games, answer phone calls, check the weather, and
do pretty much the same task as a smartphone. This idea is very exciting,
however new innovations also comes with questions and concerns. Some of the
major concerns include, “Will this device work if someone has hairy arms”, or
“How will input lag be taken into consideration”? I am really excited about the
Cicret Bracelet and the idea behind it, I think a device like this will be very
helpful.
As of right now (April 17, 2015) the Cicret Bracelet remains to be just
an idea, the creators made a promotional video with the idea in late 2014 that
was sort of deceiving. The promotional video showed a working version of the
Cicret Bracelet and all of its functionalities, however it was later discovered
that there wasn’t an actual prototype at the time. Recently the creators put
out a prototype video, in my opinion it was a letdown. The company’s website
states that the Cicret Bracelet will be available for purchase Q4 2015 or Q1
2016, however we are in the 4th month of the year and I would guess
the developer edition (if that even exist) will release no earlier than Q1
2016. The creators will need much more funding and a better working prototype
in order to make the Cicret Bracelet work.
