From Apple’s forthcoming smartwatch to the Fitbit, there is fierce
competition to get consumers hooked on wearable devices.

And soon there will be a bracelet that turns your skin into a touchscreen
using a tiny built-in projector.
马上就会有一款手镯，只使用一只小小的内置投影仪，就让你的皮肤秒变触屏。
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.
Cicret手镯的佩戴者将能够在前臂投影的地方收邮件或是看电影，而且把皮肤当成触屏用，还可以操作图片。
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.
手镯里的小小投影仪会把影像投到皮肤上，8个远程近距离传感器会探测到每一次滑动,敲击和捏放。
The bracelet will also contain a USB port and accelerometer as well as
supporting Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
手镯也会包含一个USB接口，加速器，还有蓝牙支持和WIFI。
While it will be made so it can sync with an iPhone, it's designed to be a
stand-alone device.
虽然它这样做是为了和苹果同步，但是它的原始设计是想成为一个独立的装置。

A promotional video suggests that the bracelet will spring to life with the
flick of a wrist and could be used to answer a phone call.
宣传视频揭示挥动手腕就可以启动手镯，而且能用来接电话。
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.'
纪尧姆·波米耶和他的软件开发之父帕斯卡一同创立了Cicret技术公司，他告诉《每日邮报》：“我们计划在手镯里装上3G卡就可以打电话了。”
He explained that the device may use a new technology that allows SIM
details to be put into the hardware, instead of requiring its own SIM card.
他解释该设备也许要用到新科技让SIM里的细节资料放到硬盘里，而不是用自己的SIM卡。
It’s still in development, but a working prototype is due to be unveiled in
a few weeks' time and Mr Pommier hopes that the bracelet could be on the shelves
by June next year.
该产品还在开发中，但是产品原型由于已经在几周前于网上发布了，波米耶先生希望在明年6月，手镯可以上架。
It is likely to cost around £300 on its launch and will come in 16GB and
32GB models as well as a choice of 10 colours.
手镯的标价大概在300镑(3000人民币)左右，会有16G和32G两种，十个颜色可选。
