Google's smart AR glasses could be controlled via a bracelet or ring

• Google could be interested in developing a bracelet and ring as controllers for its AR glasses.
• The bracelet could be used to swipe and tap different UI elements while the ring could utilize some form of optic sensor technology.
• The company's AR glasses were teased at I/O 2022 and showed live translation capabilities powered by Google Assistant.

The way in which augmented reality glasses are controlled is via a side-mounted device.

The company seems to be working on two new ways of controlling its Glass. Sources close to the matter said that Google is interested in introducing a bracelet or ring as a way of controlling the augmented reality glasses that it briefly showed at I/O.

Users will be able to control their augmented reality frames with the help of the bracelet and the Wearable. As you use it, the bracelet will give you feedback.

A ring as a controllable device for its glasses could be the other side of this. The first- generation Focals by North and the "Loop" have been brought up. There was a large ring with a small joystick controlling the glasses. Since the second- generation Focals were canceled following the purchase of North, it's thought that a loop prototype is being used to influence the development project. The new prototype has an optical sensor, instead of the usual joystick.

At I/O 2022, we saw how development of its next potential jump into the market was happening. The glasses have it in them that they are smart and powered by the Assistant.

The most popular method for controlling music and volume in smart glasses is to use a touchpad on the side of the frames. In a future where wrist-based devices are used for augmented reality, Meta imagined a future.
