Cicret: A Wearable Projection Band That Could Be The Next Killer Gadget

The founder of technology company Cicret, Guillaume Pommier, along with Pascal, his software developer father, have said, ’We plan to put a 3G card [in the bracelet] to allow calls.’ Pommier explained that the device may use a new technology, which will allow the SIM details to be put into the hardware, instead of requiring an actual SIM card.

The Circet bracelet is obviously still in development, but a working prototype is due to be unveiled soon. Pommier has hopes that the bracelet  may be on the shelves by June of 2015.

Mr Pommier said, ‘The Cicret bracelet is a revolutionary device which could completely change how we access information…The applications for the bracelet are vast – it will be able to do anything a phone or tablet can do but without the need for a hard screen…Not only is it more portable but it’s also more ecological too because it is the screen part of tablets and phones that is hard to dispose of…The amazing thing is that we haven’t invented anything new – we just combined two existing technologies to create something really special…We think the bracelet will revolutionise the technology world.’

Could the Cicret bracelet replace a smartphone? Who knows? But if this device gets off the ground, one thing is for sure, it will make people sit up and pay attention.
