ring, ring!

ET, eat your heart out! The Orii-ring turns every index finger into a smartphone thanks to its applied bone-conduction technology.

With the 'ORII' design ring, you can call, send messages or enable a voice assistant like Siri or Google Assistant simply by placing your index finger next to your ear.

The tiny gadget has a double insulated microphone so that you can make a clearly audible call, even in the noisiest pub. The 'ORII-ring' has been developed by the start-up Origami Labs in Hong Kong. CEO Kevin Johan Wong was inspired by his visually handicapped father. The ring does not need a screen and uses the same technology as a hearing aid: the sound is conducted through the bones to the cochlea in the ear. Also handy: the ring can be used under water. So after using the toilet, you can simply wash your hands.
