Turn Any TV Into A Giant Touch-Screen Tablet With This $130 Gadget

Bigger is always better. And, when it comes to the world of touchscreen, this particular saying is very much, 100 percent true. The way in which we interact with screens has changed dramatically over the past few years. Nowadays, not even an hour passes that we haven't laid our hands on a touchscreen. Whether it's a smartphone, tablet or a laptop, everything now comes with a touchscreen which gives the user an enchanting experience.

The only day to day electronic viewing device which hadn't been bit by the touchscreen buzz yet was our television but that is not the case anymore. Touchjet WAVE is the name of the device making our dream of a touchscreen TV come true. Having already received a funding of over $400,000, which is something 400% above the team’s original $100,000 goal, the project has already hit all the right notes with the people.

The WAVE can mount on any TV up to 80 inches with an HDMI port, has the potential to run any Android application that you want it to and can also connect to Wi-Fi for streaming video as well as downloading new apps. Best of all, this wonder device will only cost you $129 if you pledge right now.



According to WAVE's Indiegogo page, it "uses bleeding edge infrared technology to track finger movements and taps across the screen. WAVE's Light Processing Unit translates these infrared inputs into gestures and taps that the Android system can understand.”

If you're too tired to walk up to your television and switch it on, don't worry at all and allot that task to WAVE. The WAVE can be controlled from your smartphone or tablet with the mobile companion app. In order to give everyone a larger and clearer view of recent trip's pictures and videos, you can also share the images, videos and documents from your mobile device to the WAVE.

The current plan of the Touchjet team is to end the campaign sometime next month, test the device throughout the year and then start shipping the device to backers as early as in March 2016. The global launch of the product is expected to take place sometime in April 2016.

A similar device launched by same company -TouchJet, called TouchPico which is capable of turning any flat screen or even a wall into an interactive screen.

Turn any wall into touchscreen with TouchPico

TouchPico from TouchJet has made an extremely useful twist to the old handled projectors and this twist has made it capable of turning any flat screen or even a wall into an interactive screen. TouchPico is an Indiegogo project which has raised around $379,212 USD till now will be available in retail maret at price label of $499 (around Rs.30400)

TouchPico is a tiny handheld projector that turns any surface into a giant 80" interactive touchscreen. TouchPico is a hand-sized, small white device which has the ability to run all Android applications and project it to an 854 x 480 pixel, 80 inch image on any wall.  At 150 lumens, it has the ability to lighten up any room.  It also comes packed with a special stylus.

The stylus is a pen like device and its one end which is not attached to the projector, has an infrared switcher. The projector consists of an infrared camera and this camera makes the tracking of the movement of the stylus in front of TouchPico’s screen possible. This also allows the user to interact with any on-screen objects with easy taps and gestures.

TouchPico can be used to play games on the big wall. It provides a wonderful experience to the user without any lags or glitches. Though, it is a little difficult to be able to stand directly in front of the screen as it blocks the projection.  TouchPico even lets you watch a movie in a hotel or at home, while being connected to all your apps.

TouchPico is expected to cost under $500. It comes loaded with HDMI and audio ports.  It also has a built-in Wi-Fi which can be used with Android’s Screencast technology. TouchPico runs off standard AC power.

This device's capabilities might seem familiar to people who have seen or used a Smart Technologies Smart Board, but the difference between these educational devices and TouchPico is that these educational devices need special screens and larger and more expensive projectors to function but on the other hand, TouchPico can work virtually on any matte surface. The only advantage these educational devices have over TouchPico is that these devices have been designed for a very short and high angled throw which means it’s highly impossible for people to block the projection.

TouchJet expects to start shipping TouchPico from October this year but has launched an Indiegogo campaign on 25^th July, Monday so as to fund TouchPico’s manufacturing.
