A wearable computing system for wireless communication and gesture based human computer interface

The paper presents a prototype for a two way peer to peer communication and advanced human computer interface (HCI). This could be in the form of a wearable ring equipped with laser, infrared and other radio capabilities that enable the human beings communicate with people and other smart devices in a much natural way. The ring ensembles two way peer to peer laser communication, NFC (Near Field Communication) enabled authentication, wearable laser gesture control for remote devices. The ring houses electronic systems, which enable the user to use natural gestures such as waving a hand, nodding head etc. to activate a remote device mile away. The user can instantaneously transmit, encrypted data to another ring, without the need for internet or any other industrial ecosystem based communication. More natural and customized symbols can be trained and tracked into a computer system, for it to function as naturally as possible, without the user clicking, or interacting by any other legacy mechanisms.
