ring with trackpad uses finger as mouse to control computers, smartphones and TVs

"Prolo Ring is a wearable computer mouse with a trackpad designed to control computers, smartphones, TVs, and other gadgets. It allows the user to control a screen without using a traditional mouse or touchscreen and gives full cursor control, shortcuts, and over forty gestures. With these gestures, users can point, click, scroll, take selfies, play and pause music, adjust volume, move through slides, or run preset commands."

"The trackpad, the one easily reachable by the thumb, is made with high-resolution capacitive sensors that give the wearable computer mouse ring precise cursor control. Around the device, the sensors and integrated circuits help detect finger pressure and direction for accurate response. The Prolo Ring also acts as a smart power system, which means it goes into sleep mode when not in use and wakes up within 0.2 seconds when the user moves or touches it to save battery power."

Prolo Ring is a wearable Bluetooth trackpad that controls computers, smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs with full cursor control, keyboard shortcuts, and over forty gestures. Gestures enable pointing, clicking, scrolling, taking selfies, media control, volume adjustment, slide navigation, and running preset commands. The device uses a patented Modtouch system that combines a two-zone touch surface (Trackpad and Modstrip) with a six-axis motion sensor to translate finger and hand movements into screen actions. High-resolution capacitive sensors detect finger pressure and direction for precise control. The ring supports Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, is ambidextrous, and includes smart power-saving sleep and fast wake behavior.
