This device is a finger ring and you wear it  and its super smart and compatible with other NFC enabled gadgets, such as smartphones or tablets.

The ring lets you unlock any NFC door, device, share information, store contacts etc! And all your programming is done via apps! But wait, theres more! Its open source software so you are free to write your own actions to the ring as well as using third party applications if you want. The ring has two inlays. One is designed to enable users to share information. This is located on the top half of the ring and is manipulated by a fist bump action.The lower half is the area that stores private information (such as the unlock password for your NFC device). Do this with an open palm action.
