Neonode today announced<\/a> that AirBar<\/a> for the 13-inch MacBook Air is now available to purchase for $99 at select retailers in the United States, including Fry’s Electronics<\/a> and Evine.com<\/a>. It’ll also be available online through Amazon<\/a>, Best Buy, and Staples, but it doesn’t appear to be in stock on those websites yet.<\/p>\n

AirBar, a CES 2017 Innovation Awards Honoree<\/a>, is a thin aluminum bar that magnetically attaches below the 13-inch MacBook Air’s display, connects to a USB port, and transforms the notebook into a touchscreen device.<\/p>\n

AirBar projects an invisible light field on the surface of the MacBook Air’s display. When a finger, stylus, brush, or other object breaks the light, users are able to interact with the screen without actually touching it, including gestures such as tap-to-select, swiping, scrolling, and pinch-to-zoom.<\/p>\n
