A Korean company offers the WHSP ring, which features a sensor and microphone that activates when it is brought close to the mouth to stimulate interaction with the mobile phone and activate the voice assistant. The user can talk to his voice assistant simply by mumbling towards the ring and have it understand him.
The idea uses the proprietary VTouch app, which offers artificial intelligence assistants to assist the user. In addition, the ring can interact with the smart home and continues to operate for up to a day and a half on a single charge. Any responses can be heard through headphones, allowing the user to communicate “chat” with their voice assistant. There is also a button on the ring that, if pressed five times simultaneously, will activate a system to alert the user’s emergency contacts and record ambient sound.
Touch intends to launch the ring in the near future, but there is no information yet about the expected price of the device or its official launch date, according to InGadget.
