Zusammenfassung:The disclosed apparatus may include a wearable optic ring that features input capabilities relative to a computing system. In various examples, the wearable optic ring may be designed to curve around a wearer's finger and can detect complex interactions between that finger and the wearer's thumb. Moreover, the optical ring may detect such complex interactions based on ultra low-resolution images captured by a miniature optical sensor mounted on the optical ring and bioimpedance measurements taken by one or more electrodes included on the optical ring. Various other implementations are also disclosed.
