I have a bluetooth "joystick" which is so small it uses a ring so that I can hold it. No reason not to improve that. The interface for your walking-around glasses can be a thick ring that you rub and click with your thumb.

This is how Focals by North [0] work. Everyone I’ve asked about it has thought it’s a silly idea (to have to wear a ring), but I still can’t think of a better interface. [0]: https://www.bynorth.com/ https://www.bynorth.com/

  I assure you, the combination of a stand that holds a tablet over my bed and the bluetooth joystick ring is the most comfortable possible bedtime reading scenario.

    What stand do you use! Please share. :)

      Amazon is full of them. I got a generic steel gooseneck with a clamp that attaches pretty well to my steel-pipe headboard, and I zip-tie it at a second point. My wife got a floor-standing gooseneck to hold her Chromebook, and added a 20Kg steel weight at the bottom to keep it upright.

  Did they ever actually sell these? I've been trying to get my hands on a pair but have found it impossible.

Problem is I prefer fewer expensive things to charge and/or possibly lose

Can you share the product name? I'd like to get one?

  It's the Acgam R1, about $16. The pictures make it look big and bulky, until you realize that the hole just fits a large man's pointing finger.

    That's so cool. Thanks for sharing. What do you use it for?
