WHAT A DEVICE, REALLY WHAT A DEVICE!!!!!!. Now from smart watch to smart rings,time is changing as quick as we know it.The endless wave of wearable gadgets continues to wash ashore some pretty intriguing ideas. Fin, a thumb ring designed to enable hand gesture control of smart devices, aims to not only offer improved connectivity, but to alter the way we interact with our favorite gadgets.
Fin is packed with a ton of sensors , to enable it to mark the coordinates in the 3D image of the palm . In addition, it can also distinguish between each segment of your fingers and convert your palm into a numerical keypad. Gestures are then translated into commands for various devices that are transmitted via Bluetooth 4.0.
The potential of this device is far more and varied .Examples provided by the company include adjusting the volume or changing channels on a any device by swiping your thumb in a particular direction, acting as a game controller, or controlling your smart phone while driving.
With iOS, Android and Windows phone compatibility, the company is releasing an SDK (Software Development Kit) in the hopes of providing a foundation for developers to explore their own ideas for how Fin could be used.
The ring sports an LED indicator and runs on a lithium-iron battery that can be recharged through a Micro-USB port, with each charge providing a month of use, according to the company. It also claims the ring is dust proof and waterproof, with a rating of IP67.
The company has developed a second prototype and has turned to Indiegogo to crowd-fund the remainder of its testing, finalize the design and get Fin into commercial production.
However the products remind me of futures products of wearable gesture controls just like Pranav Mistry's SixthSense.And however this shows India's true potential as an entrepreneur and gives the young minds of India a better opportunity . This is also showing the future of gesture control.
