Shave (Your Arm) And A Haircut?



New application of existing technology turns your arm into a touch screen computer.
[...]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.

The makers of the device, who are currently raising money to put it into production on their website, say it can do anything a phone or tablet can, allowing wearers to read emails, surf the web, watch videos, play games and even make phone calls without relying on a conventional screen.

A tiny projector in the bracelet will cast an image onto the skin then eight long-range proximity sensors will detect every swipe, tap and pinch.

The bracelet will also contain a USB port and accelerometer as well as supporting Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. 
 
While it will be made so it can sync with an iPhone, it's designed to be a stand-alone device.

Nothing short of cool.

And I presume that if they shaved Michelle's ample rear, they could use it as a wide-screen to view the big game?
