This ring lets you whisper to your phone, because sometimes we need to use our inside voices

This smart ring lets you whisper, rather than speak loudly, at your assistant of choice.

Most commands to your voice assistant of choice have to be spoken at a volume slightly higher than you would speak to another person. There’s even a button that, if tapped five times at once, will trigger a system to alert your contacts of an emergency and record ambient sound. Touch is planning to launch WHSP Ring as a Kickstarter in the near future, but there’s no word yet on how much you could expect this thing to cost or when you can get your hands on one.
