PHONE WITHIN A RING
The Orii is much like a smartwatch in many ways. It automatically connects with a synced-up phone and keeps you apprised of incoming messages. It doesn't have a screen, so it can't tell you exactly what texts you've gotten, but that doesn't matter.
It's in the phone calls that the Orii really shines. All you need to do is hold your finger up to your ear and you'll hear the other person just fine. That's because Orii uses what's known as bone conduction, directly stimulating the tiny bones in your ear by sending the vibrations through your finger and skull.
For talking, the ring features two noise-cancelling microphones in order to cut down on the background noise the other person experiences. The ring is best controlled via voice commands anyway, and can be used for everything from asking Siri for help to composing your next viral tweet. When your social media star rises, you'll know right away, depending on which of Orii's LEDs you programmed to flash for Twitter notifications.
TWO TO BEAM UP
The concept of sending sound through bone might seem strange, but it's really just taking advantage of the way our brains already receive sound information. The biggest advantage is that you get crystal-clear sound that can't be overheard by anybody else, followed closely by the satisfaction of saying, "Two to beam up," into an empty hand.
