Bluetooth Rings – Your Hand Just Became the Handset

Color Rings - Lets electronize the Jewels

Color Rings - Lets electronize the Jewels

Technology has proven to be leaning towards beauty and love for sleek devices. The iPhone is a good example, sleek and beautiful – and its a toy for men. Now this is heading to even personal reach and soon girls will be demanding diamond rings with blutooth and all the tech talk… BCK has come up with a very innovative way of using just your fingers to talk…forget your bluetooth headsets, here comes the Color Rings

“The color rings are an accessory for cell phones that are inspired in the gestural language of the use of the phone. It is conceived as an extension of the hand, which makes their use a more natural one, and more comfortable and more attractive as well. The rings are thought to be either an electronic component, or a fashion accessory. They were designed to be worn in the thumb and pinkie fingers, and work as a microphone and headset, respectively. These, interconnected wirelessly with the phone, allow responding calls only by separating the fingers and speaking, using distance sensors between rings to activate the call.” Says BCK’s portfolio page.

Working together with your cellphone (presumably via bluetooth), the ‘rings’ are worn on your thumb and little finger. One ring works as the microphone, and the other is the headset.

Now this is the new version of the rings and I assume that soon some diamond company will get innovative and start spreading the love with technology. Each day gets better with technology! This is an amazing innovation, just imagine where we are headed!! Your hand has just become the new headset.
