Cicret Bracelet 'if you can dream it.. you can make it'
« on: April 27, 2015, 09:18:46 am »
 i am surprised you could even fit a projector in a form factor like this surely that is its biggest give-away ?
it amazes me how the public are duped by these silly concepts and not realise its a just a poorly done, superimposed image of a phone screen on a wrist.  :palm:

The working prototype, with a video trying to hide how bulky the projector strapped to the wrist is...

I do have some very small projectors that are designed to fit on the rear of a specific LG mobile phone called the Expo. They can be very small form factor but I am very surprised that the image can be seen in bright daylight as physics dictates that the light hitting the surface must be significantly brighter than ambient, Quite a challenge for micro projection sources. I bought the LG projectors 'new in the box' for less than $15 each....... I do not think they were very popular !

Interesting concept but not something I would buy. Interested in the technology though as it could make an interesting virtual keyboard/display for use on a desktop ?

It's a tattoo. The refresh rate is pretty low.

Not a tattoo, you get a skin transplant from a donor chameleon. Refresh rate is kind of slow, but it does have a colour display, mostly limited to green, brown and black. Blue with a hormone injection, but that has had some slight issues, mostly with men having unwanted colour changes elsewhere, and women with unwanted hair growth amongst others.

That sure sounds like Quebec French in there. Every Quebecer of a "certain" age has been permanently scarred by a kid's show with regards to shaking wrists ...



Every time I see someone shake their wrist for something tech-related like this I hear that sound. It's like a Bionic Man sound effect for jumping.

He was talking to his pal "Memo" through that watch, like in Knight Rider, but it was magical too.
