Prototype's due to be unveiled and bracelet could hit shop shelves in June 2015. So get ready to buy, It's likely to cost £300, come in two sizes and a choice of 10 colors
Wearers of the of the Cicret bracelet will be able to check an email or watch a film that’s projected onto their forearm, and control the picture by using their skin like a touchscreen.
Guillaume Pommier, who founded technology company Cicret with Pascal, his software developer father, told MailOnline: 'We plan to put a 3G card [in the bracelet] to allow calls.'
Mr Pommier, who is from Paris but lives in Leeds, 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.'
