AI-Interactive Smart Rings

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The AI-Fueled Wizpr Smart Ring by VTouch has Proximity Sensors

— March 26, 2024 — Tech
The Wizpr Smart ring is designed by the Korean tech company VTouch. It is a wearable ring that offers a refreshing new was to interact with AI and virtual assistants. By bringing the ring up to the mouth and speaking to it, the device automatically activates due to proximity sensors. It is immediate and then terminates when the hand moves away from the mouth. The device also filters out background noise so that the user can speak at a steady volume.

VTouch founder and co-CEO SJ Kim states, "AI-based conversational computing is expected to be the next big thing that goes beyond the limitations of graphical user interfaces such as PCs and smartphones. With Wizpr, we aim to realise a conversational computing environment where you can interact with AI by talking to it with your voice anytime, anywhere, without having to look at a screen."
