How to Control your cell phone with a ring


Control your cell phone with a ringNokia’s Nenya ring allows the user to control their cell phone with a twist of the ring, like a magician. Speaking of magic, the name Nenya apparently is derived from a ring of power that was wielded by Galadriel from The Lord of the Rings. Of course, there is no magic involved. In fact, the technology is as simple as mounting a magnet inside the ring. The ring can be twisted at 45 degree angles, which allow commands for about 8 different functions.
So if you want to change tracks on your music program, or pause them, just give it a twist. You might notice that ugly thing that goes on your wrist. That is actually a part of the Nenya setup, and it is a Bluetooth bracelet that somehow picks up the orientation of the ring and transmits it to the phone. I wonder if there was a way to put the phone on the bracelet. If nothing else, put a watch on the thing. This is a concept product for now, and I just don’t know whether or not this will catch on.
