Contactless payment ring launches on Kickstarter

I've just backed this, looks like a brilliant idea.

I love the ring form factor. It was widely rumoured a couple of years ago that Apple's payment solution would be based on a ring.

Performance issues aside, the main challenges with the rings are logistics and psychology. Wrist and fingers are highly personal spaces; it's a valuable "real estate" for making a statement (absence of anything is a statement too). Hence, getting some universal design/colours work for even a third of the marker is hard.

Logistics-wise, it's design/colour combos x ring sizes. Not a small task...

I think I'll back up the project, but they need to be careful with the "world's first" statement - there have been several NFC ring projects out there already (some EMV-compatible too).

Just backed this
Wish you and your company well

Im sure in the future will seee variations on this as well other innovations.

GOOD LUCK KERV

I like the no-charging and no-pairing aspect of this. I guess it is a virtual prepaid card but in ring form factor? In that case is it like Barclaycard bpayband but just the form factor is different? (other than the further configurability in the video such as transmitting contact details)

Wearables work, if you like adorning yourself with tings. 

Biometrics seem so much more natural, and there's no technology to make invisible, for the consumer that is...

Andrew, bio template needs to be stored somewhere (locally).
