The Prolo Ring is an advanced ring controller for computer, smartphone and tablet users alike to incorporate into their setup as a tool for navigating interfaces without the need for a mouse. The ring-inspired controller works by being worn on the index finger where it will go to work offering cursor control, while also supporting use with shortcuts and macros. The wearable also interprets gestures, if desired, and will support use with more than 40 gestures to make quick work of a wide range of tasks.
The Prolo Ring is rated to support up to eight-hours of use per charge and doesn't come with any subscription fees to keep costs to a minimum. The wearable is being launched as part of a Kickstarter campaign.
