This Indiegogo campaign has met its fundraising goal to develop a smart ring (called the Smarty Ring) that would alert you to incoming texts, voice calls, emails, and realtime notifications of Facebook, Twitter, and Skype happenings. They were seeking $40,000 but have so far blown that goal away, raising over $187,000.
The ring is app-assisted on both iOS and Android platforms. Check out the pitch video below. If you like what you see, you can scoop up a Smarty Ring for $175.
