Tact is...
Wireless
Tact is designed to use Bluetooth Low Energy to communicate with your other devices. It can work with any device that supports HOGP (HID over GATT). It is to be configured, customized and upgraded using an accompanying app for iOS or Android.
Capacitive touch
Tact features a 2-inch multitouch trackpad. This can be used for traditional cursor-based navigation, directional swipe gestures, and clicking when Tact is used as an airmouse.
Motion
Tact functions as an airmouse, allowing you to navigate using wrist and arm movements. It features a 6-DOF IMU chip from Invensense, combining accelerometer, gyroscope, and onboard sensor fusion.
Tact does...
Tact is a minimalist device. It combines two features that have existed for a long time, adds the most current standard of wireless connectivity, and packs it into a tiny and convenient wearable clip. It isn’t revolutionary technology, but it is a revolutionary device. Well, perhaps revolutionary is overstating it. That gets bandied about quite a lot, doesn’t it?
This isn’t the end-all, be-all of input devices. But it’s clever, inexpensive, attractive, and very useful. It’s also only the beginning of what we want to do and what we want to contribute to the fields of wearable computing and IoT.
Speaking of IoT, one of the coolest use-cases for Tact is as a general purpose interface for your IoT ecosystem.
