Audiobooks have become a convenient alternative to traditional books, enabling knowledge consumption on the move. However, most literary works were not written to be read through at a constant speed. We are supposed to relish the information at our own pace, go over insightful sentences again and again until we fully grasp them, and ponder over ideas until we internalize them. When consumed in audiobook format, these deep interactive activities are largely suppressed by the need to keep up with the audio. FocalRing is on a mission to break down this barrier.
FocalRing is a smart ring that appears like just another jewelry ring, but acts as a remote controller for the audiobook apps in your phone. Imagine enjoying a meal at your own pace, savoring every bite. FocalRing brings that level of control to your audiobook listening experience.
Instead of reaching your phone or earbuds, pause or rewind your audiobook is as easy as pressing one of the gemstones on your ring, letting you control the audio without interrupting your thoughts.
With minimal effort required for control, you are no longer pushed to keep up with the content, instead, the content will keep up with your thinking process. A new way of listening become possible where the flow of information adapts to match your comprehension and thinking process.
