We have heard about smartphones and smartbands. But the technology is always moving, changing and adapting. And hence we have Fin wearable ring technology that takes the entire concept of gesture interface a notch up.
The new innovation was brought to life by a young Indian techie who has invented a ring-type device that can turn your palm into a gesture interface. Apparently, with the gesture interface around, users can control multiple devices, including mobile phones, television, music system, gaming console to name a few.
Now the smart ring called Fin promises to be the next and biggest upcoming revolution in wearable technology. In fact, Fin is the first hardware product that was developed by a Kochi-based robotics start-up, headed by 23-year-old Rohildev.
"Fin, according to a report in the Indian Science Journal (ISJ) web site, can transmit these natural gestures as commands to any connected Bluetooth device, such as a smartphone, a music player, a gaming console, a digital interface inside a car, a television set or a home automation device," a previous BGR report stated.
But what's the big deal about this new technology? How can the entire gesture interface be limited to just your palms? And how will it be helpful in terms of everyday use?
We take a look at the top 5 ways the technology will help users in the long run.
