The MOTA smartring is an ingenious net-connected ring -- produced by consumer wearable electronics company MOTA -- that updates its wearer when they receive calls, text messages and social media notifications. The ring notifies wearers of updates by delivering light vibrations to their finger. The ring has a screen that allows you to scroll through your alerts to see if there's anything particularly important. The ring also displays the time and temperature.
The MOTA smartring's wearable technology syncs with a companion smartphone app, making it easy for you to stay connected even when you're not physically near your cellphone.
The smart ring is available in midnight black or pearl white, and is being displayed at IFA 2014 in Berlin.
