The special thing about the ring that looks like this bracelet is that if there is less than 6 feet distance between the players then it starts to beep. A proposal was sent last month for the use of this Oura Smart Ring, as revealed by a study by the Neuroscience Institute at West Virginia University. The institute said that it will be able to get the data of the player wearing the ring through in-app and digital platforms. Its accuracy has been measured up to 90 percent.
