Nod Control Ring Changes The Game

Gesture control has featured prominently at this year’s CES, and while it’s not a brand new concept in the tech world, the way companies are implementing gesture control is getting more sophisticated and creative every year. One of our favorite examples this time around is Nod, a bluetooth-enabled gesture control ring. Nod let’s you set up gestures to control things like the smart lighting in your home, the volume of your stereo, and the temperature in the room (if you happen to have a Nest thermostat). You can also use Nod to control more mundane things like your Windows, OSX, iOS or Android device.
It’s hard to predict what will become the most prominent form of interaction with our devices in the future. Touch, voice, and gesture technologies are constantly competing for that title. Touch is still the clear winner right now, but gesture or voice control could conceivably replace touchscreens in a number of different scenarios if they make enough strides to improve accuracy and ease of use.
