MOTA SmartRing Brings Discreet Notifications To Your Fingers; Gets Funded On Indiegogo

Wearable electronics or wearables come in all shape and sizes. While most of them are meant to be worn on your wrists, a Silicon Valley based company called MOTA has come up with one that fits your fingers. Meet MOTA SmartRing, a wearable that can be worn discreetly on your fingers which brings up notifications without the usual clutter. The MOTA SmartRing hooks your Android or iOS smartphone or tablet using Bluetooth 4.0. The companion iOS or Android app which needs to be installed on your device helps you decide which notifications shall be displayed on your SmartRing. The MOTA SmartRing has a touch-enabled LED screen. When you receive a notification for a call, text message or reminder the MOTA SmartRing vibrates and with a single touch on the icon it can scroll the name of the caller, content of the text message and reminder at a user-defined speed.


The company is soon planning to add social networking notification support from websites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram as a part of the extended funding goal. The MOTA SmartRing is shock and water resistant. While the company fails to mention the standby time of the product it does say it can be charged wirelessly with the inductive wireless charging station provided with the SmartRing. The project has now been funded on Indiegogo. It managed to garner funds of $101,905 against its goal of $100,000 with four days to spare. Early backers will be getting the SmartRing for 75.00 USD (4,620 INR). The company has even started a pre-order page on its own website.
