Neonode lets you buy your favorite laptop and turn it into a touchsceen whenever you want.
Neonode today announced the official U.S. launch of its new product, AirBar for MacBook Air at CES 2017. Now compatible with the MacBook Air 13.3” notebook and launching in the United States via Amazon.com, AirBar for MacBook Air provides Apple notebook users with the ability to promptly and seamlessly activate touch and gesture functionalities on their laptop’s display.
“We believe the community of devoted MacBook Air users will welcome this new product, as AirBar for MacBook Air will surely enhance the user-experience of an already great product,” said Remo Behdasht, Senior Vice President of AirBar Devices at Neonode. “Our goal for AirBar continues to be expanding its application to more devices, across even more markets.”
The AirBar sensor is a sleek bar that magnetically attaches to the bottom of a laptop display and plugs in via USB to instantly activate touch and gesture capabilities, with no software installation or additional configuration required. AirBar uses parent company Neonode’s patented zForce AIR technology to emit an invisible light field over a display that senses touch from fingers, gloves and even a paintbrush. AirBar for PC comes in matte black, and AirBar for MacBook Air comes in brushed aluminum. Among many other useful and unique functionalities, AirBar alleviates added weight and glare that is typically unavoidable with regular touchscreen laptops.
AirBar for 15.6” PC laptops running Windows 10 now retails for $69. AirBar for 13.3” and 14” PC laptops will be released with AirBar for MacBook Air in early March. AirBar for MacBook Air will retail for $99 through launch partner Amazon.com.
