(It's) Ring, the ring that turns your finger into a magic wand

"Wearable" technology is increasingly fashionable. It is becoming normal to see smartwatches

around, Android-based intelligent watches that interface with your smartphone to receive message
notifications, to initiate and receive calls, and more. And soon there could also be a ring that allows
you to do some technological "magic."

Ring, this is its simple name, is a device that you wear on your finger and/which allows you to do
several things with your smartphone (and not only). Among these, you can check appliances
through/by making gestures, draw letters in the air so that they are recognized as text, receive
notifications through vibration and LEDs that light up, and even set up electronic payments, all with
a flick/simple movement of your finger.

The device incorporates, as one might guess, a gyroscope and an accelerometer that detect and
interpret the gestures, sending them to the smartphone to which it is connected. The system is based
on Bluetooth 4.0 LE, includes a rechargeable battery via a Micro USB cable, and has a touch
surface to be able to activate it and to issue commands.

Ring is compatible with iOS, Android, PC and even with other wearable devices (including Google
Glasses).

At the moment it is a project developed by Logbar Inc. and presented on the crowdfunding platform
Kickstarter which has raised nearly half a million dollars, almost twice as much as initially
requested. The first versions of the product can be ordered for $165, delivery is scheduled for July.

Wll we all become imitators of Harry Potter?
