Abstract: An external device, such as a head-mountable device, can be operated with a ring input device worn on a finger of a user. Such devices can be operated to provide inputs that are received and acted upon by the external device. The inputs can be provided as rotating, tilting, and/or sliding at least a portion of the ring input device with another finger of the user. The ring input device can provide feedback to the user as confirmation that the inputs are being received. A feedback system can also be operated to limit or otherwise provide a force on the finger and/or another portion of the hand to simulate sensations perceived by the user.

Abstract: Systems of the present disclosure can provide a wearable electronic device with attachable and exchangeable bands that provide a variety of different components and functions to achieve the results that are desired by a user. A selection of a certain band can influence operation of the wearable electronic device in a variety of ways. For example, the wearable electronic device can respond to the identification of a particular band by performing particular functions, such as changing an aspect of a user interface or altering settings of the wearable electronic device. Such functions can be readily executed by the wearable electronic device upon identification of the band, such that user input is not required. Accordingly, a user's experience with the wearable electronic device can be enhanced based on the user's selection of a particular band.
