The Ring by Logbar Inc., a studio based in San Carlos, California, is a piece of hi-tech jewelry that blows all other wearable devices out of the water. It might even give THE ring (ahem, 'Lord of the Rings') a run for its money. It incorporates gesture control and home automation in a sleek and simple design that is meant to be worn on the index finger.
Syncing with smartphones, the Ring by Logbar Inc. also boasts text transmission, payment information transmission and a receive/alert function. These capabilities combine together to control basically every facet in the wearer's life. Most of the controls depend on air-writing, of which there are preset ones as well as the option to create one's own.
