A Ring that recognises gestures opens up possibilities

In the near future, don't be alarmed when you see people start to move their fingers around with no apparent reasons. They might not be troubled after all because a company called Logbar has come out with a Bluetooth ring (aptly named... Ring) via Kickstarter that will be able to recognise gestures. When combined with other devices such as smartphones, smart watches, smart home devices, the bearer could perform texting, launch apps, control stuff, make mobile payments, you name it.  Check out the video below (excuse the small size, I don't know why this happens):


Unfortunately, this gadget is not waterproof nor rechargeable (expected to last a thousand gestures and that's it) in its current version but I don't expect these limitations to last long as the company (or other competitors) comes out with newer iterations. After all we have waterproof and dust-proof phones and wireless charging tech out there... Wearables have gone one up.
