3 MoodMetric
Remember those goofy “mood rings” you could pick up from gas stations and convenience stores during the early 2000s? Slip em’ on, and as your mood changes, the ring changes color to reflect it, right? Well, MoodMetric is also a “mood ring” — which not only wants to inform you of the mood you’re currently in, but also provide help with stress management and gaining control over your emotions.
According to its manufacturers, “MoodMetric is the simplest solution to manage stress and recovery,” and measures nervous system signals to provide insight into its wearer’s mental state, connecting to a smartphone companion app via Bluetooth so as to display “how intense a person’s emotions are in real-time.”
In a way, MoodMetric is just a single-purposed alternative to the far more advanced ‘Smart Ring’ offerings on the market — and certainly pales in comparison to the iRing Apple is rumored to be working on. Not to mention, but at 299 Euro ($270), to boot, we cant even say we’re surprised this thing failed to hit the ground running.
