Wilmington, Delaware, June 16, 2026 <\/strong>– KiWear, Inc., a leader in spatial computing and gesture recognition, has launched its first consumer product – the KiWear Smart Ring \u2013 a smart ring controller that interprets simple hand gestures, allowing users to control and interact with virtually any smart device including phones, tablets, TVs, glasses and car infotainment systems.<\/p>\n

The company is announcing a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign this July to initiate production of the multi-device, all-in-one smart ring controller.<\/p>\n

The KiWear Smart Ring\u2019s breakthrough innovation is its state-of-the-art, touchless gesture control technology. The ring combines KiWear\u2019s proprietary, real-time decision-making algorithms with motion-tracking and high-precision gesture recognition sensors to enable the most precise motion controls for human-computer interactions. Users control connected devices using simple and intuitive micro gestures, eliminating the need to physically touch a screen or even the ring itself.<\/p>\n

KiWear\u2019s technology powers both generations of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.\u2019s reference design smart rings\u2014the second generation powered by Snapdragon\u00ae S7+\u00a0 Gen 1 Platform will be shown at Qualcomm Technologies\u2019 booth at AWE USA 2026. Both ring generations are reference product designs for developers and industry partners. Now, consumers can finally get their hands on this core technology with the KiWear Smart Ring.<\/p>\n

Users simply gesture with their fingers, swiping and pinching to select, browse and switch between apps. The KiWear Smart Ring represents a revolution in human-machine interaction, unlocking a new interactive dimension of control for connected devices.<\/p>\n

Consumers can use the KiWear Smart Ring, for example, to control music during workouts, advancing through playlists and adjusting the volume without having to take out their phones. The ring supports safety while driving, users can answer and end incoming calls with micro \u201ccheck\u201d and \u201cx\u201d gestures.<\/p>\n

The KiWear Smart Ring also features health-tracking functions consumers have come to expect from smart rings today, including professional-grade sleep, heart rate and blood oxygen monitoring, giving users complete visibility into their health. It excels at monitoring sleep health, providing accurate, comprehensive and continuous data tracking. The ring\u2019s sleek form factor supports comfortable, all-day wear that integrates seamlessly into daily life.<\/p>\n

At AWE USA 2026, KiWear representatives will demo and share hands-on experiences of the KiWear Smart Ring.<\/p>\n

Additionally, KiWear builds on its continued collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies to develop interactions for next-generation AI and XR devices, making cross-device control more seamless and fluid. The next-gen prototype\u00a0 ring, incorporating the Snapdragon S7+ Gen 1 will be at Qualcomm Technologies\u2019 AWE booth #911.<\/p>\n

\u201cKiWear\u2019s smart ring controller represents an important step forward in making XR more natural and intuitive. As spatial computing evolves, new ways of interacting with devices will be critical to unlocking more experiences,\u201d said Ziad Asghar, SVP & GM of XR, Wearables, & Personal AI at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are entering a new era of interaction. We want to be the pioneer that brings the digital world into everyday life more effortlessly,\u201d said Chris Shi, Founder and CEO of KiWear, Inc.<\/p>\n
