The document describes a new ring-shaped input device called The Ring. The Ring uses sensors to detect finger gestures and movements, allowing users to control devices through gestures or by drawing letters in the air. It can pair with Bluetooth or WiFi devices and transmit alerts via an LED light. The Ring Kickstarter campaign raised over $200,000 in its first day. The Ring is projected to deliver in July 2015 and could potentially serve as both a functional device and fashionable wedding ring.
