Ritot of the United States has developed a projection smartwatch that projects time and SNS notifications on the back of the hand. Currently, we are looking for investors on the crowdfunding site Indiegogo for commercialization. About two weeks after the campaign started, it has already succeeded in raising $ 447,000, which is nearly nine times the target amount, and has decided to start shipping around February 2015.


A smartwatch is a device that works with smartphones to notify you of incoming calls and emails, new SNS messages, and more. However, because the screen is small, it has the disadvantage that the message is difficult to read. Many of the designs that are currently on the market aren't astonishing.


"Ritot" is a smartwatch that solves these problems. The feature is that the time and SNS notifications are displayed on the back of the hand with a small projector. Since it can use a wider display area than conventional smart watches, it can display more information. In addition, the installation of a projector eliminates the need for a touch screen, enabling a cleaner design.




To display information in "Ritot", touch the button on Ritot or wave your hand lightly. Then, the current time is displayed on the back of your hand. Even if you do not perform these operations, a message will be automatically sent when you receive a call to your smartphone, receive an e-mail, update on SNS, or a meeting you have set is approaching. Can be set to be displayed. Not only projection but also vibration notification is possible.




More than 20 colors can be used to display information. It is also possible to select different colors according to the type of information displayed.


Can work with smartphones equipped with iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. The price is $ 160 and shipping to Japan will be free.
