Ringbow: next generation gaming accessory

What is Ringbow? Ringbow is a wearable ring device that enhances the way we interact with our touch-devices, designed especially for mobile Gaming. Especially doesn't mean exclusively. So I am confident that we'll use it with our Ouya very soon. In fact, Efrat Barit - the Ringbow Project founder on Kickstarter - seems to confirm that answering to a user : 

@Charlie definitely, we have approached the Ouya team in order to explore Ringbow integration. It's an amazing project and we agree Ringbow can really be amazing to use with it. 

Let's see what Ringbow actually can do. All you have to do is to the ring, and it will provide the funtionalities of a mouse, keyboard, and joystick simultaneously with your touch. It allows remote control of your operating system, apps, presentation tools (i think it'll be pretty cool to use it during conferences or graduate thesis presentations). It will work with Bluetooth technology. 

From Ringbow Official Kickstarter page : 

Since touch screens are controlled with fingers, a finger-worn tool, specifically a ring, is the natural choice for complementing them. Operating Ringbow with your thumb, in conjunction with using a touch device, enables countless new features and a much more efficient user experience. Ringbow multiplies the functionality of your finger together with allowing amazing simultaneous actions providing powerful capabilities and layers of functionality that are simply not available in today’s technologies.

Ringbow lets you free your fingers from your device, leaving your hands available to do whatever you feel like doing: eating a sandwich, drinking a beer, high-fiving your buddy or stroking a puppy. Whatever you'd choose to do with your hands!

It will work on Android and iOS using bluetooth technology as said before, and a single charge will last about 5 hours. The Ringbow box includes :

• The Ringbow device
• Micro-USB cable for charging (personally, i hate to put in charge my Xbox 360's joystck batteries)
• Ringbow control panel application for Android & iOS devices
• Game package including games that were especially designed to support Ringbow, native control of the operating systems and a list of many games that naturally supports Ringbow and works automatically.
• Developers kit includes the Ringbow APIs and plug-ins, technical support, creative guidelines and 24 hours assistance from Ringbow team.
