How about turning any surface into a computer or smartphone keyboard? With Tap, your fingers control & communicate with your digital appliances. You type with your fingers or use your thumb to glide & scroll. Cursor position, characters or commands are sent via Bluetooth to your smartphone, smartwatch, tablet, VR headset, or computer.
Typing on small phone keyboards is not a comfortable experience & it can be practically impossible to type on tiny smartwatches. It gets even more difficult if you’re wearing Virtual Reality (VR) glasses. Sometimes you can get by with a clunky external keyboard, but Tap might just be the best solution to this problem.
Tap is a device that you wear on the fingers of 1 hand. It’s made up of 5 interconnected rings with motion sensors, processors & transmitters built-in, that when you move your fingers as if typing, on any surface, turn it into a virtual keyboard. With it, you can compose & edit documents & messages & do anything you’d normally do with a keyboard & mouse.
You can even treat a surface as if it’s a virtual screen, which might come in handy for very small interactive screens like smart watches or for VR environments where you might not be able to see your keyboard & mouse when you’re donning a headset.
