What it does

Nod was a gesture-control ring — a wearable that let you control devices through subtle hand movements. Originally launched in 2014 by Nod Labs, the product pioneered the “touchless interaction” wearable category, with integrations across smart-home, productivity, and developer ecosystems. This archive preserves the company’s documentation and press history. The wearable category Nod helped open has since grown to include Oura Ring, Whoop, Apple Watch gesture controls, Meta’s neural-band interfaces, and many smart-home gesture systems.
