Why not just wear a ring?

Seems like the main reason is so that the guy who made it can call himself a transhumanist and say futuristic things.

Watch him put his phone to his wrist. If it was on his finger he wouldn't have to take the phone out of his hand. Is that thing glass? How is he not worried about it shattering when he falls?

I found http://nfcring.com/ but macbooks can't do NFC, otherwise I'd preordered one.

I also learned that NFC is RFID at 13.56 MHz.




The vivokey has a secure element: you can keep RSA keys on it and use it like a yubikey.

Notably, it's the first NFC 4096 bit capable device I've seen (Yubikey Neo is max 2048bit; Yubikey 4 doesn't have NFC).
