This is Microsoft's smart ring for use with Hololens as well as tablets and smartphones
We have talked on other occasions about the Hololens, the virtual reality glasses developed by Microsoft and all the possibilities that are attributed to them for now, thanks above all to the incessant trickle of applications under developmentaimed at promoting its use in areas as diverse as design or teaching.
And so far we have talked about everything about that, about applications, but not about accessories and this is the case at hand, because from Redmond they have patented a new _gadget_ that in the shape of a ring goes to help control the user interface of Hololens and even _smartphones_ and tablets.
To this end, said ring makes use of sensors such as gyroscopes, accelerometers to which a new one is also added, such as an infrared sensor under the ringto detect the position of the rest of the finger and thus achieve greater fidelity of the movements executed.
With this smart ring you can also enhance the use of movements in front of tablets or phones, which, like a Kinect, could more easily recognize our movements with a system that would help better position our extremities thanks to the smart ring.
In this way we would have the detection in broad strokes that we know today and another, more focused on minor movements, more precise, more sensitive to changes , which combined with the above could allow a device with a digital screen to function in a similar way to a touch screen but without being sensitive to touch."
One ring to rule them all
And, according to Microsoft, this ring could be useful for a large number of devices, communicating with them via Bluetooth or Wi-Fiand who knows if it could be the first in an advance of _gadgets_ that camouflaged as accessories will help us in our day to day to interact with other devices.
In this sense, from Redmond they are committed to the development of this type of accessories, especially aimed at working together with their Hololens, so that their operation can be enhanced, for which we only It remains to imagine accessories such as glasses, watches or bracelets with this type of additions that may not be so far back in time.
