Invention, the winner among the most promising and talented designers from around the world, makes the exchange of information through the usual handshake. The ring works complete with stand-alone digital card that stores all your personal information, as well as a database of those people with whom you have already produce information exchange. The more often you meet with them, the more information will be stored on the media. All this data, if you wish, you can share with other owners of this device.
