This seems less cumbersome than nTag's interactive badge, but I think it'll be years before we see something as slick as this ring out on the market. Of course by that time cell phones will probably be doing this sort of thing.

Jea Wan Park, Hideaki Matsui, and Dong Ho Yun came up with the idea and entered the concept in the 2006 International Design Competition held in Taiwan. The theme of the competition was “futuristic product designs incorporating the theme ‘nomad’” and challenged entrants to come up with new products that could help people maintain a sense of community among an increasingly transient, global population. The simple, sleek ring looks elegant but yet is completely functional. If two people wearing these rings shake hands, the rings exchange each person’s contact information. You can then review who you met at a later time by pulling up their details either on the display badge or via a PC.
