One ring to rule all devices. Nod Labs is a gesture control technology platform that can be used from everything from flipping through channels to flying a drone. The Nod Labs Ring integrates into the platform and is worn on your fingers and tracks movement to operate devices. There are 2 buttons and a slider to add additional functionality to this futuristic wearable.

Back Spin

The Nod Backspin was designed as a VR gaming-focused development platform showcasing the Nod Labs technology. The design follows a similar ring language but introduces a more traditional gaming controller “D” pad and trigger button. The aesthetics were also shifted to feel more at home paired with existing VR and gaming equipment.
