Global News


Hiya, it's Nisha and Bethany! This is our last Global News Update before Easter. Today's story:

The Arm Phone

If you're sick of carrying your phone around with you, scientists could have come up with a solution: a phone that you dial on your arm! It sounds crazy but the experts at Skin put have invented a gadget that projects your phone's numbers onto your skin. To make a call you just dial the numbers where they appear on your arm - and the 'phone' will call your friends! The device is still being developed and won't be in the shops for a while. At the moment you have to carry a projector with you for the device to work. The projector is strapped to your arm, and projects a keypad on your skin. When you touch a key, the movement is picked up by a sensor in the projector which sends a message to the gadget telling it what to do.
