Imagine struggling to catch a waiter's eye to pay your restaurant bill. How about using your finger to draw a currency symbol in the air and write out a sum to transfer, then heading home, safe in the knowledge you've paid for your meal. This futuristic-sounding technique is the premise of Japanese start-up Logbar, which has manufactured the "Ring".
