The Ring
What is Ringbow?
Ringbow is a ring device that enhances the way we interact with finger based interfaces such as touch screens, hand-gestures recognition and augmented reality. It is an interaction tool that provides a set of innovative means of controlling any touch sensing platform.
Why do we need it?
During the last few years, touch screens have become increasingly popular and desirable, but they are far from perfect. Touch screens only register a single type of input – touch. Tapping on the screen is not unlike a mouse click. Several methods are currently used to perform advanced functions, namely multi-touch technology, touch gestures and virtual menus. These solutions are adequate in some cases, but they have many drawbacks. They consume workspace real-estate, obstruct workflow and draw focus away from the main task.
Ringbow allows the user to surpass the traditional 2D touch screen control scheme, facilitating “menu-less” navigation and accessibility, together with at-distance control. Ringbow makes touch screen interaction far more fluent and productive, eliminating the need to actually display menus and other virtual elements, such as toolbars and dialog-boxes. Ringbow also enables controlling virtual elements and their properties without touch.
What about the market?
Ringbow resolves significant limitations and dramatically enhances user experience for any finger interfaces in devices such as mobile-phones, PCs, tablets, smart home appliances, cars, gaming consoles, engineering workstations, security systems and more.
As the electronic environment surrounding us becomes more and more intelligent and communicative, a need is rising for universal interfacing solutions. Ringbow can sync your digital life and create a personal ecosystem for each one, facilitating personal identification and data exchange. Or as we say it, you will be able to SyncRing your world.
Why a Ring?
Since touch screens and gesture recognition sensors are controlled with fingers, a finger-worn tool, specifically a ring, is a natural choice for complementing them. With it you’re not bound to the screen surface, no matter where your hands are. Ringbow introduces exciting new features and offers a complete and immersive user experience which is more efficient, engaging and fun than ever before.
