Neonode® AirBar™ Touchscreen Sensor Voted by Press as Best of CES® 2017
11 January 2017 - 1:03AM
Neonode Inc. (NASDAQ:NEON), the Optical Interactive Sensing
Technology Company, reports on a successful week at the 2017 CES in
Las Vegas where its AirBar touchscreen sensor for MacBook Air®
notebooks was voted one of the best products of the show.
AirBar brings displays to life, adding touch and
gesture sensing to both new and existing PCs. AirBar works with
laptops running Windows® 10 and on MacBook Air notebooks as a “Plug
and Touch” solution. Simply plug AirBar into the USB port and
interact with the display immediately.
The AirBar for MacBook Air story was picked up
by over 20 top tier publications such as CNET, The Verge, the New
York Post, BGR, Mashable and Wired. A full list can be found at

The Wall Street Journal’s Joanna Stern tried out
a pre-production AirBar for Macbook Air unit and said, ”I was
pleasantly surprised at how lag-free the experience was when I
plugged it into my own MacBook Air, especially considering Mac OS
was designed for a small mouse pointer. A tap on the Safari icon in
the dock and it launches. I swiped through photos, panned around
Apple Maps, even rearranged icons into folders in Apple’s
LaunchPad.”
AppleInsider reported: ”Getting a response from
touching MacBook Air's screen is oddly satisfying.”
A number of publications put AirBar for MacBook
Air on their best of CES lists:
