This is Part II of SiliconANGLE’s 2014 Internet of Things Resolution (read Part I here, where we round up a few of the top gadgets for Self Quantified users to stick to their new year’s goals).  This time we take on wearable tech, discussing how connected smart devices can help you organize your life.

Sesame Ring

If you’re the type of person who often misplaces your Charlie Card train pass, then one of your New Year’s resolution is probably to get more organized.  It’s not that easy but it can be fun and trendy when you’ve got a Sesame Ring on you.

The Sesame Ring is a 3D printed accessory that has an RFID plat on the face of the ring, serving as your train pass.  You can load it up like your Charlie Card, so you’ll always be ready to board on time.  The ring itself is customizable so you can choose your own unique design that suits your lifestyle.

Nymi

Passwords, passcodes, keys – these are things people easily forget.  But if you have a Nymi on your wrist, you can forget about all these, and proceed smoothly with your day.  The Nymi bracelet tracks your cardiac rhythm and uses it to authenticate your identity so you can wirelessly unlock your computer, smartphone, car, or even your home.  Nymi aims to make the transition to a smarter, connected world as painless and possible without having to learn how to use a bunch of new devices.

To use Nymi, just place it on your wrist, put a finger on the topside sensor while your wrist is in contact with the bottom sensor to complete an electrical circuit.  You will feel a vibration when the setup is done, and LED lights will illuminate to inform you that Nymi knows who you are, which also means your connected devices will know who you are.

What makes it better is that from the moment you put on Nymi, it constantly authenticates the wearer.  This makes it more secure, as it learns to differentiate when you’re relaxed, tired, afraid or excited. So no matter the circumstances, Nymi will always work.

NFC Ring

Setting out to help organize your personal data, the NFC Ring uses Near Field Communication to transfer or connect over a short range.  It doesn’t have a battery, all it has is two sides – one for public information, one for private data.  You can program the private side to unlock your phone and your NFC-enabled doors, and the public side to share information quickly with friends on their NFC-enabled device.

Its functions are highly customizable since the software used in the ring is open source,  which means you can use it for any purpose you wish, such as quickly sharing data with friends and launching apps when you tap on your NFC-enabled device.  It has a minimalist style which means it is easy to incorporate in your daily wardrobe.
