Developer `@Th0rgal_` reverse-engineers the Oura Ring 5 to stream accelerometer data for real-time gesture control

@Th0rgal_ @ouraring wait this is actually this thing's true purpose. It can unleash full tony stark

@Th0rgal_ @ouraring You now need to buy a 2nd ring and put one on each hand and invert 90 degrees and make a racing wheel

@unbound_dev @ouraring Opus and Codex mainly + https://github.com/AEON-7/Qwen3.6-27B-AEON-Ultimate-Uncensored-DFlash running on my DGX-Spark for some sensitive reverse engineering steps

@thethiny @ouraring Oh yeah and the right hand could also be used for the gearbox

@Th0rgal_ @ouraring A device like this exists and they never thought to use it this way?

Are they fully autistic?

@pattssun @ouraring Please do! Prs appreciated https://github.com/th0rgal/Open_oura

@we_arent_here @ouraring And from what the IMU advertises we should be able to do much more. There is a gyroscope too, but the software is preventing me (for now) to access its data

@Th0rgal_ @ouraring imagine this idea connected to a DAW or live data base of instruments you could loop for music production. would be crazy

@Th0rgal_ @ouraring Smooth! I made something similar using a Leap Motion for a hackathon. Yours is very polished by comparison. https://youtu.be/drlyZnRpq6E

@RichardDaffyAI @ouraring But then how would I be able to control the real drone?

@GundolfPet58154 @ouraring My poc didn't need it but yes, it's fairly easy to estimate position from acceleration. You estimate gravity, which gives you the orientation (pitch/roll only, you can't get yaw without a gyro), project your coordinates and integrate twice (you may need some drift control too)

@Th0rgal_ @ouraring someone gonna use that for pr0n.

@Th0rgal_ @ouraring And a ring on your feet for the pedals 😂😂

@ardchain @ouraring It's ai

@FreakinFrick @ouraring yes sir

@kyduffy @ouraring Will work on my drone

@thethiny @Th0rgal_ @ouraring Oura toe rings 💀
