Bird Wearable Input Device

Bird Wearable Input Device

Bird Wearable input device is an innovative digital interaction technology that revolutionizes human-computer interface design through a ring-like accessory worn on the index finger, transforming any room into a comprehensive 3D interactive workspace. This groundbreaking device, developed between October 2013 and February 2015, integrates multiple interaction methodologies including remote touch, hovering, depth sensing, gesture control, and traditional mouse functionality into a compact form factor measuring 65x15x25mm. Drawing inspiration from futuristic interface concepts portrayed in science fiction, this sophisticated input device enables users to interact with projected images on any surface as if it were a touch screen, offering precise control and exceptional sensitivity. The system comprises a finger-mounted thimble that automatically activates when worn, a sensor that connects to a projector, and a computer dongle for seamless integration. The device's implementation utilizes injection molding technology to achieve its ergonomic design, while its minimalist and holistic approach to user interaction demonstrates significant advancement in digital interface technology. The innovation earned recognition with a Silver A' Design Award in the Digital and Electronic Device Design category, acknowledging its contribution to pushing the boundaries of interactive technology and user experience design. This wearable solution represents a significant step forward in human-machine interface development, offering intuitive interaction capabilities that extend from direct touch to remote control, effectively transforming traditional spaces into dynamic, interactive environments.
