Abstract: The disclosed apparatus may include a wearable haptic ring that features input capabilities relative to a computing system. In various examples, the wearable haptic ring may be designed to curve around a human finger of a wearer with a touchpad that is seamlessly integrated with the ring. For example, the seamlessly integrated touchpad may be operable by another finger of the wearer. Moreover, the haptic ring may include a haptic feedback unit designed to provide haptic feedback in response to input from the wearer. As such, the haptic ring may enable a wide range of user inputs while appearing like a typical ring rather than a computer input/output device. Various other implementations are also disclosed.
