It is a ring that sends midi control signals which may be useful for control a filter, formants, effects, cross modulation, etc.

This would work better for my style of play since the index finger is away from the antenna the issue being which axis of motion is controlling what parameter.

A foot switch to turn the ring on and off would be preferable.

Sounds like a fun nightmare, for someone who uses synths with the theremin.

If you watch the right hand video at the bottom of the page:

It looks like there's a lot of latency (significant fraction of a second) associated with the response to his hand movements.  The tap response seems pretty quick though.

With that LED matrix screen I have a hard time believing a battery charge would go for 8 hours.

How often does a theremin player play for over eight hours straight?
