Wearers of the Smarty Ring can both control their smartphone through the jewelry, as well as receive notifications. On average people check their phones up to 150 times a day. To make this process that much more accessible, the makers took out the hassle of grabbing a smartphone from a wallet or bag, and put it where customers could see it. Now with scrolling display, the ring can show more information in a more timely manner.
