Isn't it fascinating that the company chooses to host the video on YouTube instead on its own web server? Like they try to monetize their own ads (not really)...

one of the co-founders here. Besides other sensors, the ring has also a camera and an 8-core parallel processor. So it recognizes different situations and objects like a keyboard and pauses. When your hand goes back to the desk, the 'mouse' works immediately. If you want to make sure it's off, just rotate your hand accordingly.
Will post soon more videos of our currently running preview sessions where people experience these things first hand.
Sorry about the ads, we cannot disable them on YouTube. You are right, we will need a better solution.

In a standard, finger-sized ring? Is that overkill, or necessary? How hot does it get? And I would imagine it needs a battery.
Either way...color me intrigued, I'm definitely keeping an eye out for this.
Has anyone thought about what might be possible with multiple rings working together?
And...scrollwheels are now a must for me. Any emulation for that? I would imagine the most natural thing would be to make up/down gestures with the middle finger.

I guess we all love a very responsive 'mouse'... so running a few neural networks for every mouse update requires definitely an 8-core. Fun fact, we started out with an ARM-M4 dual core and it was too slow but also way too power hungry. It's absolutely amazing how power-efficient these edge chips got! The ring gets mildly warm but certainly not as much as you would expect from such a powerhouse.
Our ring lives on the index finger and also senses what's going on with your thumb, middle finger, any keyboard in proximity, etc. That's also necessary for e.g. scrolling. It's the same gesture as on a trackpad: move your index and middle finger up and down on the desk.

Does it work in the dark?

nope, the ring requires some ambient light. Also, pointing a very bright light directly into the camera will make it hard for the ring...

Could you paint a Green Lantern logo on the top? Do you have to charge it once every 24 hours? Could they get Ryan Renolds to do their ads?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I kind of doubt he'd be willing to do it.

How do you right click? (You know, the context menu?)

If this thing is smart enough that I could use this without moving my hand off the keyboard, then great. But as others have mentioned, not sure how this will work when I scritch and itch.

From the site : "As soon as your index finger touches the table, the mouse pointer starts following your fingertip. When you lift again your fingertip to scratch or pick your nose, the mouse pointer stops moving."

And how it knows that I'm touching the table and not my face or the keyboard? The video is way to short, like they afraid to show a full work environment...

I didn't even think about this. That'd be neat.
OTOH, if you need to click, while your hand is still resting on a key...how do you do that?

What is the USP of this item ? What advantage do I have over a cheap mouse ? Do no try to fix a problem that does not exist ...
