Laptops with touchscreens have not been very successful in the market but even so there will always be users who can take advantage of this type of technology. If you would like to have a touch screen on your laptop, you must know AirBar, a small accessory that serves precisely that, turning the screen of your laptop into a touch.
AirBar on a magnetic bar that is placed at the bottom of the screen of your laptop to turn it into a touch. The device is powered by a USB port and only requires a small calibration with your fingers or a touch pen to start working. The gadget is compatible with Windows and Chrome operating systems and does not require the installation of drivers.
AirBar is based on Force AIR technology, which emits an invisible light field on the screen of our laptop and is able to detect the disturbances that are generated in this field when we make tactile gestures such as touching, dragging, gripper gestures and all the ones we usually do when using a tablet or smartphone.
The initial version of the device is now available to reserve for a price of 45 euros and will go on sale during the first half of 2016. This first version will be compatible with 15.6-inch screens.
