FingerPing Turns Gestures to Commands

May-14-18 The FingerPing invention translates hand gestures to commands, allowing for subtle device interactions.

Developed by a team from Georgia Tech, the proof-of-concept device consists of a thumb-worn ring and smart wristband. The ring produces acoustic chirps that are detected by receivers in the wristband. Since the wavelengths of the sound vary based on the hand’s position, the chirps can be interpreted as commands. According to the team, the FingerPing can produce twenty-two different commands, with the ultimate goal being to use the technology to create an effective ASL translator.
