Weekend, a ring to rule all your devices

Weekend, a ring to rule all your devices 

It is still a prototype, but the project would control television, mobile or the camera moving the thumb.


Although it now appears that the "wearable" devices that fashion than ever just arrived, are mainly watches and glasses, some entrepreneurs are thinking of something even smaller: the rings. Smarty Ring, a ring that tells the time, warns notifications and can control a few functions of the phone, has joined Fin, a somewhat larger object, designed to take on the thumb and control via Bluetooth a wider range of devices. 

Its launch is expected in September of this year, and for a fee of $ 99 will increase the volume of the TV or change the channel, change music on an mp3 player, take a photo, call, control a presentation, play with console or even share files. It handles gesturing with his thumb. Thus, for example, allow us to increase or decrease the contrasting it to the middle finger and raising or lowering volume. 

The ring has an optical sensor that detects when you press or slide your finger. When it detects a gesture, sends the command to the device via Bluetooth we are controlling. Although already have a working prototype that was shown at CES, is still far from having the right size and shape to take on finger.
