Revealing the 'super strange' hidden feature of the Apple smart ring

The published Apple smart ring patent shows that this device focuses on recognizing the gestures of the person wearing the smart ring, including skin touch, finger movements and other body parts. Smart rings will detect the relationship between fingers and body parts to create corresponding gestures.

Thanks to this ability, Apple's smart ring will distinguish between rock-paper-scissors games and user movements such as hammer, scissors and leaves.

Additionally, users can use their ring finger to "draw" gestures on the other palm while wearing Apple Watch. This opens up the ability to control Apple Watch with hand gestures, providing a new and more convenient interactive experience.

Compared to Samsung's Galaxy Ring smart ring that focuses on health monitoring, Apple's smart ring aims to develop a seamless device ecosystem, taking advantage of interoperability between devices in the Apple ecosystem. .

In addition, the patent also reveals the potential to use smart rings as auxiliary devices for Vision Pro - a smart headwear model that uses gesture control.

Apple's smart ring project marks a new step in human-machine interaction, promising to bring a more intuitive and convenient way to control devices.
