TelemetRing: A Batteryless and Wireless Ring-shaped Keyboard using Passive Inductive Telemetry
summary
A batteryless and wireless ring-shaped keyboard is built: five ring sensor coils (each a 6 g, 3.5 cm3 coil with a piezo and varactor) and a wristband readout coil operating around 13.56 MHz, decoded by a USRP measuring phase spectra. Passive inductive telemetry uses distributed reactance compensation and a balanced bridge to boost sensitivity so tiny shock-induced varactor changes (~1 pF) are detected. The system implements a 5-bit chord keyboard, achieves 89.7% typing detection ratio in prototypes, and runs chord decoding on a PC.
