# Motion-Sensing Rings Fujitsu Creates a Stylus for the Gesture-Controlled World By Meghan Young | Published 2015-01-14 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motionsensing-ring References: [theverge](http://www.theverge.com/2015/1/13/7539599/fujitsu-air-writing-motion-tracking-nfc-ring-prototype) & [fujitsu](http://www.fujitsu.com/global/about/resources/news/press-releases/2015/0113-01.html) Tablets and styluses are practical and purposeful, but as companies continue to explore [gesture-controlled technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universal-wearable-controller), something like this motion-sensing ring will be the way of the future. It is a simple device masked like a piece of jewelry that allows people to execute such actions are controlling buttons and writing in the air. In this and more, the motion-sensing ring can be likened to Leap Motion and Sixense STEM. In order to detect writing in the air accurately, [Fujitsu's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opensource-software-platform) motion-sensing ring "relies on software that detects 'unwanted connections' (the parts where you'd normally be lifting your pen from the paper) and only tracks the remaining data," according to [The Verge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-verge-sony-giveaway). Although it is still unknown just how accurate this software is, the motion-sensing ring is a more compact and lightweight version of similar products. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Gesture-controlled Technology:** There are disruptive innovation opportunities in developing more precise and intuitive gesture-controlled technology for various applications. - **Motion-sensing Devices:** Creating smaller, compact, and lightweight motion-sensing devices opens up possibilities for new user experiences and applications. - **Air Writing Technology:** Exploring software advancements and accuracy in recognizing and tracking air writing gestures can lead to innovative input methods. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Electronics:** The electronics industry can capitalize on developing and improving motion-sensing devices for smartphones, tablets, and other devices. - **Wearable Tech:** The wearable tech industry can leverage motion-sensing rings to enhance user interactions and gesture-based control in smartwatches, AR glasses, and more. - **Software Development:** Software developers have opportunities to create advanced algorithms and software solutions for accurate recognition and tracking of air writing gestures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wearable Input Device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/picoring.md) - [Wearable Desktop Control Peripherals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prolo-ring.md) - [Ergonomic Ring-Style Mouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnima-airpoint-ring.md) - [Wearable Tech Interfaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-smart-wristband.md) - [Tappable Smart Ring Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dribble.md) - [AI-Interactive Smart Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wizpr.md) - [Wearable Ring-Inspired Peripherals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ring-mouse.md) - [Intuitive Gesture-Control Mouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tactigon-skin-wearable-mouse.md) - [Voice Capture Smart Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stream-ring.md)
