‘Gesture’ command found.

The Samsung Galaxy Ring is about to get a powerful new mixed reality feature, just as two new smart ring competitors join the fight.

Android Authority (tinyurl.com/2kzc6c96) has uncovered code in the latest update to the Galaxy Ring Manager app that refers to a “Ring gesture for glasses”.

Samsung, of course, recently announced its Galaxy XR headset, which is the first hardware to run on Google's Android XR mixed reality platform.

While there's no further information here, the reference would certainly seem to indicate that you'll be able to use your Samsung Galaxy Ring for gesture-based control of the Galaxy XR headset.
