Written by Katherine Creeden | Aug 7, 2014 2:00:00 PM

The wearable technology industry is growing exponentially. Wearable technology assists you in communicating hands free. Fitness bands, emergency bracelets, smart watches, and smart glasses are just a few of the innovations in the wearable technology industry. We’ve showcased three pieces of wearable technology the monkeys are currently coveting. Fin

Fin, one of the top 15 startups in the world, is a wearable ring that allows your hand to become an interface. Based on gestures and the ability to connect to three devices, it communicates via Bluetooth. Fin comes pre-programmed with five gestures, but users will be able to create custom gestures as well. From changing the volume on the radio to texting, Fin allows its users to quickly communicate with technology without even touching the device.

Sony SmartBand

Sony has joined the market in fitness bands with the SmartBand. The design resembles a Livestrong band and is available in multiple colors. A small button located on the band contains three LEDs for different notifications and works via Bluetooth. Through Bluetooth, the band will also alert you of incoming calls, messages, and other notifications, including controlling your music. The SmartBand uses three different apps for settings and notifications. One of the apps, Lifelog, connects to a Google account to store the data tracked throughout the wear equipped with separate day and night modes.

Ringly

Ringly is the latest in wearable technology with a dash of fashion. Ringly is a ring that helps you stay connected, backed by a one year limited warranty. Targeted to women, the rings are set to help avoid missing messages and phone calls because her phone is hidden in the black hole known as her purse. Ringly can also connect with tablets. It works by downloading the Ringly app on your iOS or Android device, then setting different color notifications for the ring. The ring box acts as a charging dock. Another important aspect? Ringly is water-resistant, so you don’t have to take it off when washing your hands!
