loop (∞), a smart ring concept for Nothing
An invisible technology with visible superpowers
Light is a central element of this project.
A way to bring the product to life and tell more with less (screens).
Without light, not only would it simply be dark, but there would be no life at all in the universe
The ring communicates to the user what he needs through 900 small LEDs that make ephemeral interfaces appear.
Glyph is a signifier for important notifications from people
A true connection with yourself
loop (∞) monitors health and physical activity without being a friction to the user
What the sensors collect is fed into the Health app, so you always have the data you care about at hand
Tap to pay
Several users from the community have expressed interest in a ring from Nothing that would include NFC technology. In this way, through a gesture, you can pay on the go, whether you are at the bar or the toll booth.
The choice to make the loop (∞) translucent on the outside is to maintain Nothing’s design language without being a distraction to the user
The material still allows glimpses of the components by reacting to light. The inside, on the other hand, is transparent
Samsung’s entry into the smart ring market and the development of recent technologies made me think that this might be more than a niche
Nothing could carve out a space with its ring and standing out through design
here are some of the inspirations behind this concept
The Nike+ Fuelband was definitely the main source for inspiration. I also found interesting the lights from the Kia EV9
