Imaginarium
One Ring to Rule Them All
A new type of wearable to master your multimedia content with
Them All
Them all being the over-the-top (OTT) media services we all know and have various feelings for (like Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV+, YouTube Premium, Disney+, HBO GO and others).
This is about a product I’d like to get. A product that, as far as I know, doesn’t exist. It is a possible challenge for Apple, Amazon, Google, or any other hardware-capable company out there.
Its use case is plain and simple: control the apps the above-mentioned services come with. Control them on any device they run on (either phone, tablet, laptop or TV) using common and well gestures + voice. I would also like to use it to scroll through digital books and websites when connected to a laptop.
It may come in the form of a ring, but it can be even a smart-surface that you can place anywhere.
In this imaginarium, I’ll stick to this concept in the form of a physical device shaped as a ring.
There were wearables like this built in the past: Nod ring, Ring (which turned out really bad), or similar prototypes. Their context was a bit different and it seems that none stood the test of time.
