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.

Have no use for a cell phone, smart or otherwise. Doubt I’ll have a need for this bracelet either.

Won’t work as well on dark skin. Clearly racist.

Also won’t work on a hairy arm. So most men (and Kardashian-type women) would have to shave their “screen arm”.

It's a hoax. Even the photos are bogus. There's no way this could work. The finger would create a shadow on the arm of everything above the wrist mounted projector toward the elbow and block any sensors for any detection of multitouch. No way could this work.

let me add to the “bingo” that the so called photos...the mock up montages....were most likely supplied by the so called “inventor”..rather than being “news photos”
