Summary
CNET tries the Afference Ring at CES 2025.
The two-minute video shows how Afference’s ring creates the feeling of touch for touchless interfaces, such as the ones people use with smart glasses. A touchless interface has no surface to push against, so the ring adds the sensation that is missing.
The ring comes from the same neural-haptics work as Afference’s earlier Phantom glove, which signals the nerves directly instead of using simple vibration. CNET’s coverage came as the Afference Ring made its public debut on the CES 2025 show floor.
