Alarming Ring
Ring is a vibrating alarm designed for people who hate the loud blaring sounds of a typical alarm. The charging cradle is where you set what time you want each ring to go off. The ring fits over the tip of your finger and when that opportune time arrives, it vibrates. Putting the ring back on the dock shuts off the alarm.
The benefits are two-fold. It’s perfect for couples whom wake up at different hours. Never again will you be disturbed from your precious sleep when the alarm goes off. It’s a discrete sensation that only you feel. Another application is for the hearing impaired helping to improve their quality of life.

Deuce says
I put together a paper my junior year, for my senior project at the U of U that was very similar to this… but it was back in 2000. Before blue tooth, micro engines and better battery tech… these three points is where my project died and didn’t make it to the next stage. while I am disappointed I didn’t follow it through… I am ecstatic that it might come from someone period. Great concept as well… smooth, sleek, colorful… I would buy in a heartbeat..
goober says
maybe it died cause you said "my three point is these"?
tidyninja says
goober you try to insult someone but can't read properly to do so, i pity you. Goober there are tools called cut and paste for people can't read and write properly he said ''these three points is where'' slightly off grammatically correct, you said '' ''my three point is these"?''. Retard

Daniel Larsson says
WOW!! I would pay $500 for those rings easily! Probably all the way to $1.000 right now!

thats stupid. those prices are ridiculous. This isn't 3011, our inflation isn't that high yet.

lol it could’ve been better if the alarm is able to eletric shock you so that you will be forced to wake up aaaahahaha.. but nice stuff you got there..
Steven says
Jajaja i really thought that the ring wake up by electric shocks too.. I got disappointed..

Anna says
DId you ever find out where to buy this “ring” alarm clock?
FincherFanatic says
Wow, this is enormous! Is this actually the same clock that messures your heart rate and eye movement to wake you up at the ideal waking-time? I know this sounds horrendous, but I read there actually was an alarm that analysed your sleeping patterns and woke you up in between R.E.M. sleeping phases. Anyone know, which one that is?
guest says
thats the zeo
tom says
I have an app for that on my android. I just put the phone on my bed and it uses its gyroscopic sensors to measure my sleep cycles and wake me up at the most appropriate time. Can't say I'm overly impressed with it though.

Well I’d be interested in this. It’d save a load of grief I get of the missus at the moment!
Stimul8d says
Erm,…what if it comes off in the night?
boy george says
what if the ring where larger and the vibrations where slow and rhytmic…that would be an awesome way to start the day!

Pierre says
Alternatively they could make it a wristband. That won't come off. But I quess a ring that fastens like that probably won't come off easily.

misuse of “whom” and “discrete”
Ryan Bee says
This is what I have been waiting for. I cannot get up in the morning, and beeps just don’t do it for me… even worse, I can sleep through an alarm for over an hour. I think its because i listen to a lot of music, and used to wear headphones to go to sleep.
Whatever my problems are, I imagine this might be a great solution. Both my wife and I hate alarms, and we both work different shifts – she works rotating days and night.
I hope this becomes a marketable product, i think its perfect for young professionals and dual income families.
DrewG says
I wonder what reaction people would have to something vibrating them to wake them up? Suddon aggressive interruptions from deep sleep can apparently cause psychological problems and imsomnia.
On the other hand, the design aesthetics are unique and attractive (iPod-esque anyone?) but it works!
Great innovation for the deaf too!
loci says
“Suddon aggressive interruptions from deep sleep can apparently cause psychological problems and imsomnia”
what…like the billions of alarm clocks that are currently used?
DrewG says
That’s obviously not what I meant. I was referring to things like someone playing a prank and screaming right in your ear when you are deep asleep or a painting falling off a wall and crashing to the ground in your room etc
Brian says
I know what it’s like to be waken up by vibrations. My first year at college my alarm didn’t wake me up, and my roommate started shaking my pillow. I woke up death freaked because I thought I was being electricuted. It wasn’t a good feeling. Not that the ring would stay on my finger; this needs to be a watch like device that would actually stay on me.
Clayton says
this could be a great idea. if i ever hear my alarm clock during the day or, this happened to me once, hear an alarm on television with the same ring as mine i will actually feel sick. a weird, sickly vibration runs through my torso and arms while my head slightly dazes. it’s classical conditioning at its best. i despise waking up early so much that the very sound of the thing that regularly wakes me makes me feel sickened. at least with this, it will be a vibration on my finger, hopefully unique enough, that won’t be experienced again during the day.

i think it is a very good idea but it needs more work, and a bit more thought. like have you thought about if it falls of? also a vibration would not wake me up when i am asleep and dont want to get up.

Very handy for two people with different schedules who do not want to disturb each other. A snooze option on the rings would be handy. A smaller/travel version would be fabulous as well.

That is a lot of pingbacks. But it is a very novel idea, and a good one to prevent me from just shutting off my alarm clock and going back to bed.

I would love to see this used with cell phones as well, so that you could know that someone was trying to reach you without need for an embarrassing ringer or annoying vibrator.

Hi I am joselinadam,
Do you hate the buzzing, ringing, or the radio noise of your existing alarm clock?
Use the ShakeAwake vibrating alarm clock that matches all your options.

I would suggest changing the term from “hearing impaired to Deaf and Hard of Hearing”, as hearing impaired can bee seen as a derogatory term.
Awesome concept though
Stefan says
hi how do i buy one of these alarming rings
and how much are they ??
Rich says
when and where can i buy one ???????????
eddy says
That seems pretty cool. But the price for this new device. If only money was no object. One day. But if i had the money for it sure i’d buy it wake me up everyday without disturbing anyone great.
Daniel says
nice looking but seems like it would be easily lost. I would pay $40 USD for one. Wonder if it has a sleep function, or you have to cradle it and reset. I would just go back to sleep…
Now my idea involved a regular alarm clock that had a metal contact point on the snooze buton to zap the unsuspecting zombie into instant alertness.
Katie says
If I got one I'd probably tie it to a rubber band around my wrist or something so it wouldn't fall off. Plus the act of removing a ring and a rubber band would help me wake better and decrease odds of falling back asleep.
alexander says
please let me know if and when this is for real

3 years and still not commercially available? I guess the vibration on your finger did not wake many people… Might have had the same effect as your finger in a warm glass of water

it's all good until you involuntarily put your finger in your mouth, it comes off, lodges itself in your windpipe, you choke and die.
nice aesthetics though.

Totally gay. As soon as the vibrations began you would instantly flick it off of your finger. No more alarm clock. Should be a bracelet.

saw one similar to this one earlier the rings could actually be worn not only at the tip of the finger which i don’t really know which one could be more confortable and it had like a snooze option where you shaked your hand to snooze the alarm and every time it required more shaking

Squish says
It would be better with a wrist band than a ring, for two reasons: comfort (some people take off their rings when going to bed, fingers swell when resting) and reliably staying on while tossing and turning, a fingertip ring would/could slide off nullifying it’s effect.
Merina says
That’s a great idea. Rings would fall off, but bracelets are great!
