The Sandbar Stream ring has been developed as a smart wearable that's engineered to put more control in the hands of users by enabling them to interact with their devices in a simple, discreet way. The device comes in the form of a smart ring that's worn on the hand where it can be activated using the built-in touchpad and spoken to. This will enable users to communicate with artificial intelligence (AI) voice assistants to take notes, change music and more.
The Sandbar Stream ring has the microphone off by default to prioritize privacy and is activated by holding on the touchpad control. The company's AI chatbot will also converse with the user as they record their thoughts to help with organizing and editing.
