Product Description
Product Description
AirBar gives your non-touch Windows 10 notebook touchscreen functionalities. The sleek, lightweight device emits an invisible light field over a laptop screen that senses your finger touch. AirBar will allow you to experience the best of Windows 10 by simply attaching it to the bottom of your laptop bezel with the magnets provided, and plugging it into the USB port. You will be able to tap, pinch, zoom, sweep and rotate instantly. AirBar for Windows 10 laptops will work out of the box not require any software or driver downloads. We call this "Plug-and-Touch". With AirBar attached to your non-touch Windows 10 laptop, you will be able to sweep through music, images and video files, scroll whilst web browsing, or highlight text and paragraphs in your Word, and PDF documents, or pinch, zoom, rotate in your maps, and photos. You can also simply select an app on your desktop or taskbar, a hyperlink or use it to intuitively access functions in Windows 10 that you would not have otherwise, such as edge-swipes. AirBar will make using your existing laptop fun again, and increase your productivity. Many people instinctively touch their laptop screens to select something, but realize it's not a touchscreen. Well now AirBar is your answer. AirBar is ONLY recommended to work with laptops running Windows 10, and ONLY for laptops sizes 13.3", 14" and 15.6" so you must choose the RIGHT SIZE for your laptop. AirBar for Windows 10 is NOT intended for monitors, or MacBook notebooks. Please read system requirements before making a purchase.

So far I have tried the product on a laptop with Win-7 and Win-10 OS. The Win-10 version loaded appropriate drivers instantly and I was up and running. Win-10 is designed for devices such as this, Win-7 is not and may not work (did not work for me).
The sensor bar sticks to the bottom of your display screen via a magnet (on the sensor bar) and a metal plate (affixed with double sided tape). You might have to replace the tape so the sensor stays in place.
PRO - Works great, I love it! You can use your finger or fingers to draw or use as a mouse. You can even use a feather, if you had one. Accuracy depends on your screen size in reference to the size bar sensor your have. Win-10 has a calibration option to try to fine toon the accuracy. If you reach outside the screen area but within the sensor, you will hear a loud beep alert.
CON - The USB cable is on the right side only, and it is short. If you do NOT have a USB port on the right side of your monitor and that port is close to the monitor, you may have difficulty plugging in the device. The manufacturer recommends you get a USB extension cable; these are sold by the foot from most suppliers. I have found shorter USB extension cables, but they are too short. You CANNOT just flip the device around in order to use the USB ports on the other side of your computer. The max screen size is 15.6", no currently known plans to manufacture larger screen versions; though may I suggest 20.1" and 17".
I installed the driver/extension for the airbar to get multi-finger gestures functionality. So I could use two finger gestures to e.g. scroll up and down or sideways to read a document easily. That seemed to work reasonably well. However, the resolution is so bad that you can't even use the AirBar to do online browsing, because all other actions - selecting URL links - are so unreliable. Unless you had the screen/browser set to show everything HUGE, which you might do if you had very bad eyesight. Maybe the AirBar could be useful to people with poor eyesight?
Aside the poor resolution, another problem affected potential use of the AirBar for artistic work. For example, using it with my photoshop software, photoshop would not detect (or the AirBar would not send) a "mouse up" or "mouse down" signal, making it impossible to draw anything naturally. Every time you lifted up your finger off the screen, and then put it down again in another part of the screen, photoshop would simply connect those two points with your drawing/painted line, as if you had never lifted your drawing tool (i.e. finger) off the artboard (i.e. screen). I suppose one could lift up the finger, and then go to some other command in the interface, but this would seriously slow down any drawing or sketching process.
The AirBar was an interesting but expensive experiment, and now it is gathering dust.
Following the instructions got 95% of my screen accurate, but you should check the accuracy around all edges BEFORE mounting because the sticky magnets are difficult to remove after mounting.
What worked for my laptop was mounting it very close to the bottom edge.....instead of 3 mm, it was more like a half a millimeter(see picture). Now calibration was spot on over 100% of the screen. Down side is when I touch any icons near the bottom edge, I'll end up touching the airbar. Not a big deal for me. Over all, I'm happy with the product.
