"Wearable technology keeps getting smaller, but most devices still force you to look somewhere else for information. Smart rings collect tons of health data, then make you pull out your phone to see what they learned. Smartwatches put displays on your wrist, but that still requires lifting your arm and focusing attention away from whatever you're doing. VisRing flips this approach by wrapping a flexible OLED display directly around your finger, creating the ultimate ambient information device."
"The technical achievement is genuinely impressive for something so small. The flexible OLED display measures just 160 x 32 pixels but wraps 270 to 360 degrees around the ring, maximizing screen real estate without making the device unwearable. At 6.6 grams, it weighs about the same as a traditional wedding band while packing in a microcontroller, Bluetooth module, battery, and touch sensors."
VisRing wraps a flexible OLED display around the finger to create an always-visible ambient information device. The display measures 160 x 32 pixels and wraps 270 to 360 degrees, maximizing screen area while remaining wearable. The device weighs 6.6 grams and contains a microcontroller, Bluetooth module, battery, and touch sensors. Nano visualizations distill complex data into simple graphics: pulse animations for heart rate, progress bars for steps, and icons for notifications. Touch gestures enable basic navigation and interaction, prioritizing quick, glanceable awareness over complex tasks.
