Tap Strap 2 Launches, Allowing Users To Control Devices With GesturesLOS ANGELES, Oct. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Tap, the wearable keyboard and mouse, has released an all-new Tap Strap 2 which introduces the AirMouse feature, enabling users to control devices such as iPads and smart TVs using hand gestures with its plug-and-play AirMouse functionality. Seemingly straight out of a Hollywood film, Tap Strap 2 is the first tool ever on the market that gives users the power to rapidly send commands and control media through gestures, for everyday devices. Tap Strap 2 is available immediately for $199 on Amazon.com or TapWithUs.com. "Tap Strap 2 completes our vision for interacting with our devices entirely through gestures, without needing to touch screens or dedicated surfaces," said Dovid Schick, Tap Co-founder and CEO. "For the first time, this futuristic way of controlling technology is available on the mobile, laptop and desktop devices that we use every day." About AirMouse
Enhanced iPad Support: The second-generation Tap Strap 2 is a complete input solution for iPad, enabling users to rapidly input text and precisely navigate without the touchscreen interface. It also opens up Tap to entirely new uses, like improved navigation of Apple TV, Amazon Firestick and other Smart TVs, and gesture-controlled inputs for AR/VR. Tap Strap 2 also extends device accessibility for individuals who have difficulty controlling a touch screen, and greatly improves the experience of using the iPad in professional settings. "Tap Strap 2 is the perfect accessory for the iPad. It provides a fast, accurate keyboard, a high-precision optical mouse, and now, with AirMouse, the first ever plug-and-play Bluetooth gesture controller. It also provides an intelligent and seamless way for you to control your iPad remotely without having to hunch over the screen," said Schick. "With the advancements of iPadOS and Tap Strap 2, you can have your entire office right in your hand." Tap Strap 2 Features and Availability: Tap will extend this capability in the future to support other gesture-based operations, gaming and controlling AR and VR devices -- or any other emerging technologies that require users to remotely control a screen. Tap is also an inclusive technology designed to work with everyone, including the blind and disabled communities. The Tap update comes on the heels of Apple's release of iPadOS and iOS13, and the long-anticipated mouse support update for iPad. An open source AirMouse SDK is expected to be released in January 2020 so that developers can create their own applications using the AirMouse capabilities. Tap Strap 2 is available immediately for $199 on Amazon.com or TapWithUs.com. The first generation Tap Strap (without AirMouse) will continue to be sold for $149. To learn more, visit TapWithUs.com.
