The Airbar is an awesome USB peripheral which can instantly turn your ordinary display into a touchscreen.
The user only needs to plug in the device and place it below their screen, no manual software installation necessary.
The Airbar sensor supports any type of display, and works using light detection, meaning touch capabilities are not limited when wearing gloves or using a stylus.
Both Laptop Mag and SlashGear have given the device favourable reviews, stating that the technology is impressive and sleek.
