In the latest addition to host of wearable gadgets, a smart ring reportedly turns a user's hand into an interface and allows them to control connected devices like TV, smartphone or another wearable device.
The 'Fin Bluetooth ring', developed by RHL Vision, is able detect swipes and taps across the wearer's hand and when it detects a gesture, it sends the command off to the connected devices.
According to Tech Crunch, gestures like swiping the thumb down the index finger could turn a connected smartphone's volume down, while swiping back up across the same finger could turn the volume up again.
The company expects to use biometrics to distinguish each segment of each finger, which would allow them to assign each segment a different behavior, essentially turning each section of the hand into a different button.
