The formal business card exchange could be a thing of the past thanks to the Handskake, a smart ring that allows us to carry all our data around a finger and exchange information with our new contacts through a simple handshake . Once at home or in the office, the ring is synced with a digital business card , the size of a credit card, with a comprehensive database that stores information about all the people we have shaken hands with and who , of course, they had to wear another similar ring.
According to its creators, the Japanese designers Hideaki Matsui, Dong Ho Yun and Jea Wan Park, “the most important aspect of our nomadic life is the frequency with which we travel and the opportunities to meet new people that this entails.” And the smart ring is a very useful tool for establishing new contacts, both professional and personal.
The original invention, which has received the famous German reddot design award in its last edition, does not need recharging, since it draws its energy directly from human body heat .
