Oura’s latest acquisition hints that gesture controls may be coming soon

The Oura Ring 4 ceramic between a person's fingers in front of some flowers.

Today, Oura announced it has acquired Doublepoint — a company specializing in AI-driven, biometrics-based gesture-recognition technology. This suggests that voice and hand gestures will come to Oura rings in the near future.

It’s thought that in future rings, voice and hand gestures could play a central role in the user experience. What this might look like remains to be seen, but based on what competitors are doing, we’d guess that ring wearers will be able to use double-pinch gestures, similar to those on the Samsung Galaxy Ring and Apple Watch.
