Just pop this device on your index finger and trace “TV” in the air. You’ve just turned on the television. Now trace out a sentence. Voila - there it is on your smartphone screen.
Japanese startup Logbar says the Bluetooth gadget - simply called “Ring” - is ready for mass production after six prototypes helped to reduce its bulk and finetune the gesture recognition technology at its heart.
A campaign to cover production costs on crowdfunding website Kickstarter blew past the original $US250,000 ($A280,946) within days.
With a month remaining, the campaign has raised $US417,000 from more than 2,500 backers.
Australians who pledge at least $US165 plus $US15 for shipping can expect one in the mail as soon as July.
In addition to controlling home appliances and writing text messages, the gadget will allow wearers to verify mobile payments with the flick of a finger.
Vibrations and an LED light will also notify wearers when, for instance, their phone receives a text, Logbar says.
