Fin Ring

Fin Ring 

The Indian invention that going to rule technology world soon

 What is Fin Ring?

               It's a tiny ring you can wear on your thumb and control every smart device you own including your phone, music player, camera and gaming systems. This really is the closest thing to the technology you see on Iron man or any other Hollywood flick. It is an advancement in technology towards next generation control mechanisms.

Who invented it?

               Let's take pride in the fact that this invention belongs to none other than a young  23 year old Indian by the name of Rohildev N hailing from Kerala.  Rohildev N, who grew up in Malappuram in Kerala and who graduated from Kathir College of Engineering in Coimbatore in 2012. 

               Eight months ago he established RHL Vision Technologies at the Startup Village in Kochi to work on touch less technologies, a project he started during his final year of engineering.

What is its turnover?

             It has raised about $200,000 from some 1,600 people around the world who have pre-ordered the product. This is the second Indian hardware-cum-software start up to have had a great innings on a crowd funding platform in recent times. 

            Late last year, Gecko, a coin-sized electronic device with a multitude of uses and developed and marketed by a Bangalore start up, raised orders worth $135,485, more than double the initially targeted $50,000.

What is the price?

          Fin will be priced at $120 each, but that cost could come down with mass manufacturing. The first shipments are expected in September. 

What is the use?

         For the visually impaired, Fin's promises are amazing - simple taps on their fingers can help them dial a number, navigate using a map, open and read out an SMS, control their wheelchair.

                "There's no effort, no stress. Unlike other touch less technologies, you don't have to raise your hand, wave your arms, nothing that tires you," says Rohildev. For instance, Ring, from California-based Logbar, can be used to perform functions similar to those that Fin can, but it involves gestures.
