1. A wearable computing device comprising:

  • a processor, and a memory;

    a ring-type holder having a wall extending circumferentially around a longitudinally extending axis, wherein the wall extends longitudinally of the axis between a first open end and a second open end positioned in an opposed relationship relative to the first end, wherein the wall defines an open interior bore extending between the first open end and the opposed second open end, wherein the open interior bore is sufficiently sized as to slidably receive a wearer'"'"'s finger therein and wherein the wall is correspondingly sized to overlie and matingly engage with a user'"'"'s index finger positioned in the interior bore so as to retain the ring-type holder in a user-selected position overlying the wearer'"'"'s index finger, and wherein the wall defines an inner surface so exposed to the open interior bore as to contact a wearer'"'"'s finger received therein;

    a first display operatively coupled with the processor and the memory to display an output therefrom, wherein the first display is mechanically coupled with the wall of the ring-type holder; and

    a second display operatively coupled with the processor and the memory to display an output therefrom and defining a user input device positioned outward of the wall and in opposed relationship to a wearer'"'"'s thumb when the wearer'"'"'s index finger is matingly engaged within the open interior bore defined by the wall, wherein the user input device is operatively coupled with the processor and the memory to permit a user to invoke machine executable instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to perform a selected task, and wherein the first display is relatively larger than the second display and is operatively coupled with the second display so as to reproduce a display output from the second display on the first display and to provide an indicator of a relative location of the wearer'"'"'s thumb in relation to a surface of the user input device.
