Thesmart ringmarket is stirring, and not just because of the imminent launch of theSamsung Galaxy Ring. VTouch, a company touting its expertise in AI and deep learning, is also making waves with its latest release, the WIZPR RING.
Claiming to be the world’s first smart wearable ring that enables discreet voice commands, the WIZPR RING has snagged the CES 2024 Innovation Award, but can it really deliver on its promises, or is it just another flashy tech gimmick?
Interest in product-based AI assistants such as theRabbit R1has shown us there is an appetite for gadgets that can help people organise their lives better with the distraction that inevitably arises when using smartphones.

Key features of the WIZPR RING include voice conversations with AI, multilingual support (English, French, German, Spanish, Korean and Japanese), contextual chats with AI assistants, IoT device control, a voice chat messenger, and an emergency SOS system.
The ring is said to activate instantly and automatically when brought close to the mouth, offering a seamless experience. It responds to proximity voice, proximity whisper, and normal speech without needing a button press.
According to VTouch, the WIZPR RING leverages advanced AI to filter out background noise and respond only to close-range speech—a feat that would indeed be groundbreaking if true.

From what we can tell, the WIZPR RING does away with the health and fitness side of things and can’t track sleep or workouts like theOura Ring Gen 3or theUltrahuman Ring Air. The wearable seems to be focusing solely on its AI-assistant capabilities.
WIZPR RING comes in eight sizes and is currently available for pre-order through acrowdfunding campaign. As an early bird supporter, you can secure the unit for $139 (MSRP of $199).
