THERE ONCE WAS a time when wearables were mostly about fitness trackers and smartwatches. However, this is no longer the case, with all kinds of new and innovative products hitting the market. For the uninitiated, a wearable is any device a user can wear on her body. The use and technology behind these differ based on the intent behind these devices. For example, you can wear them to track fitness, for gaming, entertainment, listening to music, answering a call, and taking pictures, to name a few. There is even smart clothing and smart jewellery, which are enough to give you an idea of the sheer range of products this industry offers. So let us have a look at some wearables that might aid your day-today functioning.
Smart rings
Although newer compared to smartwatches and bands, smart rings seem to be becoming increasingly popular. Bengaluru-based startup Ultrahuman has recently unveiled its Ultrahuman ring, a smart ring, a metabolism-tracking wearable that measures your movement, sleep, and the body's energy dynamics in realtime. Just like the usual rings, you wear it on your finger. It does not possess a screen or generate vibrations, thus, keeping you away from continuous notifications. It also has a battery life that lasts up to five days.
The benefits of meditation are well-established. But if you find it difficult to achieve that state of bliss, Dhyana, a meditation-tracking smart ring, might be the product for you.
