The integration of these technologies creates a seamless experience, allowing users to see and manipulate virtual objects while receiving real-time feedback.

Unlike traditional AR/VR interfaces such as keyboards and mice, which can be cumbersome, TDK's ring interface offers a more compact and user-friendly alternative.

This innovative ring utilizes TDK's 'PowerHap' actuator for haptic feedback and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) as its primary input method.

At CEATEC 2024, TDK unveiled a prototype ring-shaped interface tailored for augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) controllers.

This controller facilitates intuitive interaction with virtual environments through natural finger movements.

Equipped with a 3D motion sensor, the ring enables users to perform a variety of gestures, including touching, pushing, pulling, grabbing, and spreading.

TDK's advancements in component size, performance, and efficiency are anticipated to significantly enhance the functionality of this ring interface.

Currently in the prototype stage, TDK is focused on refining the internal components and drivers to prepare for future consumer devices.
