Apple creates a smart ring

The company has filed a patent for a ring with a touch display and many sensors. Wearable gadget can be used to control other devices.

The patent describes a ring for controlling a computer, tablet and other devices. It can transmit gestures by sensing hand movements or simulate the operation of a computer mouse, if, for example, you move your finger across the table.

The processor, battery, wireless transmitter, microphone, accelerometer, gyroscope and many other sensors are hidden in the ring. A series of biometric sensors will also be installed in it, and then the ring can be used as a key to unlock other devices.

There is also a small touch screen for character entry on the ring, reports Appleinsider. True, there is no information on why to enter any characters using the ring.

Apple's smart ring could become a new functional accessory and compete with the usual ring. So Apple Watch became the best-selling watch in the world, including mechanical models.
