The Nod, A Full Gesture Control Ring Wearable Tech

The gesture controls tech is now becoming a big area of interest for hardware making startups. The gestures are works on sense technology which will be connected wirelessly with help of NFC or via Bluetooth. For now it is possible to control your TV, computer and even your gaming console through the wave of your hand. The Nod is a device which is capable to give you the power of controlling all of your devices through your hand. The company is the advanced phase of prototyping and backed hugely by several ventures including the Menlo VC and Sequoia to the name of the few and the mountain views company has engineers from Apple, Google, Jawbone, Samsung and some other tech giants.

The Nod says “We came together with the idea of trying to solve something that we think could possibly be the next computing revolution around input,” explained Nod Labs CEO and founder Anush Elangovan in an interview. “We took a step back and looked at how we’ve progressed from plug panels and dip switches to the mouse in the PC era, and then touch in the mobile era, and we were like ‘what’s next?’ Speech has always been one part of it, but speech doesn’t work in a crowded room for example, so the next obvious one is gestures.”

This technology is not expensive and anyone can get this device with a preorder $149 and the shipping will start from the end of the summer. Nod labs will provide an app “discovery portal” to help the hardware to help users to find the particular software of any specific hardware. The device is big enough to wear on you index finger, metal rim with transmission friendly plastic outer case. It comes with the charging cradle that looks bigger than the ring holder.
