iRing

iRing concept ring that controls iPod and iPhone media devices

While scrolling through Pinterest, because where else do I find my news other than social media, I found an article One iRing to Control All Your Apple Media Devices.  What made this article catch my eye, was the fact that I had just went through the process of searching for various wearable technologies for our presentation.

Basically, this ring would be able to link to any of your Apple devices to play, pause, or control the volume of your music.  The only catch is that this is only a concept and has been since around 2007.  If it was developed further, I'm sure there could be more possibilities than just simple music control, since technology and Apple have developed so much in the past 7 years.

  1. I think I heard about some television manufacturing implementing a similar ring based technology into their televisions to control the interface. I am curious to see if a physical ring(or any physical device) will be necessary with the advancements in camera technology. Devices like the Microsoft Kinect V2 with very accurate voice and motion control might make the iRing concept obsolete.
