Cicret Bracelet: A Device That Turns Your Skin Into Screen Touch Surface

This is yet another wearable device that turns users skin into a smartphone touch screen. Remember the smartwatch I wrote about the other time that also does the same magic. You can check it up here Smart Watch that turns your skin to touchscreen

This Cicret Bracelet allows you to interact with your smartphone straight on your wrist. More like having a tablet on your skin.


How It Works

According to Gizmag, the Bracelet uses a pico projector and a row of eight proximity sensors that point towards the user's forearm. It operates as a standalone device and, when activated with a twist of the wrist, projects an Android interface onto the users arm, much like Chris Harrison's Skinput research. The proximity sensors detect where the user's finger or fingers are and allow them to interact with the interface as they would any other Android device.

It runs on Android operating system according to the team behind the product.
It mirrors your smartphone’s screen and lets you interact with it just as if you are using your smartphone.

The Bracelet is compatible with iPhone and Android smartphone devices and it's water resistant, The battery capacity is yet known but it is a removable battery.

Would You Rock This Asus ZenWatch 2 Smartwatch For $130?

I love SmartWatches as they are beautiful and makes your life easier. There are lots of them this days with many different designs and features. Asus is one of the emerging smartphone companies that have now stretched their tentacles to accommodate Smartwatch making business.

On the off chance that you are an Asus fan in the US and are in the business sector for a smartwatch, here's an arrangement for you: the Asus ZenWatch 2 with metal band is presently going for $130 in the nation.

Amazon has the wearable gadget (1.45-inch model) recorded on its site at that cost, down from the $200 sticker price it as a rule conveys there. A snappy take a gander at Asus' US online store uncovers that the same model is sold for $219, which means you'll save in any event $70 if you buy the watchfrom Amazon.

AngelFish & SwordFish Are The Two SmartWatches Google Is Set To Launch

If you notice very well, Driverless cars and SmartWatches yare the trending technology now and google; being a heavyweight in world technology is also taking part in the two. Remember that Google already have a driverless car 🚗

Angelfish
The watch will feature a round face like the Moto 360, it is said to carry 3 physical buttons. The thickness will be 14 mm, 42.5 mm in diameter. It would also come with LTE, GPS and a heart rate detector.

Swordfish
Unlike the former, this one features lesser specs and it's cheaper, smaller and thinner than the Angelfish. Its dimensions are 10.6 mm – 0.8 mm thickness, 42 mm in diameter. It doesn't have LTE, and GPS.

As expected, two watches will be supported with Google Assistant to offer contextual alerts.

What Is Tecno T-Band? See Its Features & Functions In Tecno Camon C9

Tecno T-Band is a compatible smart bracelet that allow users to get in touch with their smartphone even when the phone id not physically with you; it allows you control your phone camera functions from as far as 10 meters away. It utilizes speedometer which counts your working steps. It also monitors your sleep, serves as call reminder and also sedentary. The T-Band is also a useful gadget to track your phone in case you misplace it.

The Tband reminds me of smart watches like the K8 Mini Android Smartwatch that also monitors sleep, track heart rate etc
We started hearing about T-band after Tecno Camon C9 was launched with it. Camon C9 is the first smartphone to bring Iris Eye Recognition to local smartphone market across Africa.

This Tecno smartphone is a camera centric device and features an octa-core processor alongside 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB internal storage. It comes with an amazing 13MP front and back camera with LED flash and ultramodern camera features. I have already published an Official Spec, Features and Price Of Tecno Camon C9 In addition to the Camon C9, you can check the article and see things for yourself.

Alongside those amazing specs, Tecno also unveiled its first ever smartband gadget called "Tecno T.Band". So let's take a look at what T.band is all about and its functions.

FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS OF TECNO T-BAND BRACELET

First of all, let me highlight here that the T.Band uses Bluetooth to establish up to 10 mitres connection with your smartphone to communicate and achieve the below functions:

Notification For Calls & SMS
Just like smartwatch devices, this gadget notifies you of incoming calls, sms and other notifications on your phone. You can keep your phone at one end of the house or in your pocket and receive calls via the T-Band you wore on your wrist.

Anti-Theft
Have you been in a situation you carelessly or mistakenly misplaced your mobile phone and you don't have any other option to locate it? Even if the phone is on silent mode, with the help of the T.Band, you can trace where the phone is. You just have to press the T-Band’s main button for three seconds. The phone will vibrate heavily and ring (if not in silent mode) to notify you where it is. The T-Band will also notify you whenever your phone is 10 meters away from you to keep it within your reach all time and secured. It also function the reverse way, in that the smartphone can notify you (with Ringing or vibration) if your T.Band is out of range, which even makes it easier to detect where your smartphone is immediately, because notification will be turned on on both your smartphone and your Smartband.

Capturing Photos
Now this is awesome. Do you know you can capture pictures by just taping on the T.Band you are wearing on your wrist? Have you ever tried to take pictures with some of your friends with your camera and still want to appear in the photo, but no one around to help? Don't worry, with T-Band you can capture everyone including yourself. To do this, just place the smartphone in a good position with your friends well in range, and join your friends for the snapshot ( bearing in mind that range must not exceed 10 mitre), then just tap your T.Band to snap the picture and see wonders of technology.

Tracking
Have you ever thought about tracking the kilometers or how long you have walked? Have you thought about tracking your sleep, fitness etc? Tecno T-Band brings fitness and activity tracker to you just like some smartwatch does.

Meanwhile, anything that have advantage also have disadvantages and Tecno T-Band is not an exemption because the use of the T.Band will undoubtedly drain your phone battery as it uses Bluetooth connection which drains battery if you always leave it activated.
At the moment, there are just two color options which includes black and gold. It comes with Tecno Camon C9 straight from the box but hopefully, it will start selling separately as time goes on.
