Touchjet Wave Turns Your TV Into a Tablet | Tech

The Wave is an Android attachment for your television, and converts your flatscreen into a smart TV. It connects to your TV’s HDMI port, and it has two USB ports to connect an external HDD or other attachment to it if you wish. But what makes it really stand out from other Android add-ons is that it isn’t just a dongle or a set top box. Instead, the Wave is designed like a clip that attaches to the top edge of your television – there’s a small camera unit there, but it’s not pointed at you for Skype calls – it’s pointed at the TV’s screen, and turns it into a giant touchscreen.

The Wave is powered by a 2GHz quad core, processor, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of storage. It connects to your phone over Bluetooth 4.0 low energy, so you can control the TV from your couch using a companion app on either iOS or Android. There’s also an infrared stylus so you can use the screen more easily, and it will work with a TV between 20-inches and 80-inches.

You can use it like any Android smart TV – to browse the Web, or run apps, and thanks to the optical touch sensor, you can use it just like a giant tablet, with four-point multitouch. It connects to your home Wi-Fi, and aside from the touch controls, there’s also a companion app for both Android and iOS to control the Wave, and you can also share media from your phone to the Wave.

The Wave had a funding goal of $100,000 (approximately Rs. 65 lakh) that it blew past in just a few days. The project is still accepting funds until September 12, so you can still get one now for $119 or approximately Rs. 7,750. The estimated delivery is for March 2016, and if you’re ordering from outside the US, you have to pay an additional $30 (approximately Rs. 2,000) for shipping.
