shhhh! ring with chatGPT and voice assistant lets people talk to AI by whispering like ASMR

VTouch’s WIZPR RING comes with AI and chatGPT

Technology company VTouch introduces WIZPR RING, a fashion accessory with ChatGPT and voice assistant features, so users can talk to AI by bringing the wearable technology close to their mouth and whispering their commands. The CES 2024 Innovation Awardee filters out background noise and can only be activated during close-range speech. But the AI ring with ChatGPT isn’t only for commands; it can also be used to have conversations with the virtual assistant in an ASMR manner.

VTouch’s WIZPR RING is equipped with a proximity sensor and microphone to make the AI ring with ChatGPT work by whispering. No wake words are needed to switch it on, and it turns off automatically when the users pull it away from the lips. VTouch assures the users that the AI ring takes care of their privacy by isolating their voice from their surroundings. WIZPR RING can even pick up the softest of whispers, so if users don’t feel like disclosing what they want to share, they can lower their voices until their words are tinged with their breath when they mutter.

How does VTouch’s WIZPR RING work?

For VTouch’s WIZPR RING to work, the users first press the button and tell the ring which AI tool they want to use (ChatGPT, Gemini, Siri, Alexa, etc.). Once it’s activated, they can whisper their commands. For any contextual conversations, they can either mutter ‘What’s up?’ or press the button three times. This type of talk can allow the AI ring to go through the users’ calendar, events, messages, emails, location, and weather on their smartphone. WIZPR RING also connects to the smartphone via Bluetooth and serves as the medium that converts the spoken words into texts, and these texts are then relayed to AI engines such as ChatGPT for accurate responses.

Whisper the commands or talk to AI

VTouch’s WIZPR RING pairs with a smartphone and a dedicated app to make it function as a digital assistant. So far, the ring can work with ChatGPT and other AI tools, including Gemini (formerly known as Bard), Alexa, Siri, and more. When permitted by the users, the ring can listen and reply to their incoming text messages, so they don’t need to pick up their phones. The users can also have a contextual conversation with AI assistants when they talk to WIZPR RING since it can access their smartphone’s calendar, events, messages, emails, location, and weather. The feature allows the ring and the users to feel like two friends chatting about the contents of their smartphones.

Aside from whispering thoughts and commands, VTouch’s WIZPR RING can also act as an emergency tool. It can trigger its SOS mode when the users press the button five times. It then sends out ambient alerts and the location of the users to the pre-set emergency contacts for quick assistance. In terms of design, VTouch says that the AI ring with ChatGPT comes in eight available sizes, and its material is made up of titanium and epoxy resin. It can stay connected to a smartphone for up to 66 hours (up to 3 days with continuous use). So far, VTouch has put up the online campaign for WIZPR RING so interested fans can be updated for its release and shipping starting July 2024.
