Is cicret.com Safe?

This is an attempt to collect money on PayPal from technically ignorant people to "fund" a futuristic project, without promising any kind of refund in case of failure. The product itself requires a lot of technology which does not exist today. Being an engineer in consumer electronics, I can certify that the hardware diagram shown in the main "concept" video is laughable and completely unrealistic. Their so-called "first working prototype" video is just a basic (and easy to reproduce) image projection demo on skin with a retail pico-projector. The demo itself shows absolutely none of the technical breakthroughs that would be necessary to achieve the final product. Regardless, Guillaume Pommier (cicret.com spokesman) is not interested at all in giving credible answers to interviewers regarding product feasibility, prototypes, components, suppliers, etc. Feeding the hype surrounding his viral "concept" video on social networks seems to be his primary focus. When people finally realize there is nothing to see there, maybe they will start asking for refund. It will probably be too late. Please stay away from this scam. If you want to support new technologies, go to kickstarter or similar platforms where people are required to show valid prototypes and not just imaginary concepts.

There have been many inventions that were considered impossible by the inventors' peers during their time. Yet today we have many of these "impossible" things in our homes. How is this much different than virtual keyboards? There are more colors and it's more complicated, but virtual keyboard work pretty well. Don't listen to the naysayers. Am I suggesting you donate? No, that's completely up to you. But stick to the actual website and don't try to pre-order it on ebay or Amazon or any other site because there is no set release date yet and I haven't heard that they're working with any third parties yet.

This site doesn't deserve a bad rating. By the logic of the two people above, the HoloLens is also a scam by microsoft, and we should have labeled the myo and leap motion scams as well. Just because a site is a preview for a new technology which doesn't seem like it's possible to idiots doesn't mean it's suddenly a scam There have been people who took the product and tried to scam people by saying it was out now, but this is the official site. Nothing wrong with the site in any way.

I find it abhorrent that two people with dubious backgrounds and no actual proof that their claims are factual can make this website come up as a scam. Their ignorance to technology shouldn't be a basis on grading criteria. I did some research on this product that is in prototype testing and the technology does exist to make it work. I'm somewhat surprised more companies aren't working on something similar.
