SAN FRANCISCO—It’s amazing that the mouse, as one of our primary input devices, has not fundamentally changed since being invented nearly half a century ago. After all, the best input device would be no extra input device at all—who wouldn’t want a perfectly accurate Star Trek-style voice interface combined with a slick touchscreen?
Until we get there, one Israeli startup thinks it has a good interface option: a small plastic shell, laden with sensors, to wear on an index finger.
On Monday, MUV Interactive's new input device—Bird—is set to go on sale to the public for the first time, with a promotional price of $150 for the first 15,000 units. After that, MUV will kick Bird up to its regular price of $250. (As of this writing, online sales are set to begin Tuesday morning at 1am Eastern Time, which appears to be an error.) MUV has already sold over 15,000 units, primarily to business customers.
