MUV Interactive and Silicon Technology Announce the Launch of Smart Wearable, BIRD In Japan
HERZLIYA, Israel, April 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
MUV Interactive, a developer of innovative technologies for active human sensing, in
partnership with Silicon Technology, a leader in electronics distribution in Japan,
announced the launch of the wearable BIRD, an intuitive device worn on the tip of the
finger. BIRD transforms any surface into a multi-touch interface with 3D interactive
capabilities. BIRD communicates with the user's computing devices, enabling rich
interaction with anything from displayed content and smart home appliances to IOT devices
and drones. BIRD will be sold through Silicon Technology with partners including, SoftBank
Service & Commerce, Synnex Infotec, Ricoh Japan, CSE, Eizo-system, Gakuei System, and
Dospara later this year.
BIRDÂ is the first device to integrate the entire spectrum of interactive methods -
including touch, remote touch, gesture control, mouse functionality and hover - into a
single tiny wearable. This gives users the flexibility to interact with each type of
digital content in the most intuitive way.
Silicon Technology recently held a press conference on March 24, 2016 for the launch
with many members of the press including, inter alia, PC Watch, Akiba PC Hotline, ASCII,
ITmeida and BCN as well as several channel partners, local corporations and academic
institutions. The press conference featured a live demo of Bird by creator and CEO Rami
Parham.
"We are incredibly excited to see BIRD launch in the great country of Japan and to
work with MUV Interactive," said Daigoro Shihodo, CEO of Silicon Technology. Â "Delivering
the most innovative solutions to our clients is our top priority and I am confident that
BIRD will take the corporates and educational markets by storm. We cannot wait to see how
the Japanese nation flies with BIRD!"
"As country that loves high tech, innovation and great invention, Japan is absolutely
a natural choice for this exciting launch. We are confident that, along with the help of
our partners, BIRD will be a huge success and change the landscape of interaction and
cooperation with digital content within the education and corporate sectors in Japan,"
said Rami Parham, CEO of MUV Interactive.
Masatoshi Morishita, General Manager of MUV Interactive, added: "Silicon Technology,
with its many terrific partners, is a great master distributor for MUV Interactive.
Together, we have the scale, infrastructure, reputation, experience and complementary high
technology portfolio to make BIRD a success in Japan. We are very happy that our partners
