Even if you are not super into the latest technology, you need to take a look at this.

A Parisian design company has found yet another way to raise the bar for wearable gadgets by creating a conceptual bracelet that turns the surface of a human skin into a touchscreen device. 'But how?!' you may wonder.

Take a look below and maybe we'll answer your questions. Or raise even more, who knows...

This is Cicret, a projection-based wristband that lets you operate your mobile devices on the surface of your arm.

Cicret wirelessly connects to your smartphone or tablet and projects the screen on your skin using a pico-projector and proximity sensors.

According to the developers, users would be able to read emails, play games, answer calls, use maps... Basically, everything that's possible on a mobile device.

The interface works exactly the same: you can tap, swipe and pinch the projection on your wrist.

Cicret is currently seeking donations to finish their first prototype and, in case of success, release the product to the market.

Naturally, there are a lot of speculations on whether or not such gadget is possible and would it be effective in everyday use.

Some Internet users are sceptical about the battery life and price, which might be too high for a regular consumer (estimated price is approximately $470). Others worry about the need to shave their arms or having tattoos which might interfere with the projection. However, a lot of support comes from people with disabilities for the obvious ease of use such device would provide.
