Tap Strap 2 is a wearable device that allows you to send a text or command to your electronic devices simply by tapping your fingers on any surface. Tap Strap 2 is the first tool ever on the market that gives users the power to rapidly send commands and control media through gestures, for everyday devices.
Tap Strap 2 has dropped to $100 from its MSRP of $199 with 4th of July deal, reports EndGadget.
Tap Strap 2 was designed to enable the wide adoption of new technologies and experiences. You type characters and commands by tapping a combination of fingers on any surface. Tap has accelerometers built into each finger-ring, which register which fingers you are tapping and sending the associated letter, number, symbol, or macro to a paired Bluetooth device.

Tap Strap 2 uses onboard intelligence to automatically know what interaction the user intends. When a user’s hand is horizontal, Tap Strap 2 becomes a keyboard. When the thumb rests on a surface, it seamlessly switches to optical mouse mode. And when the user’s hand is rotated vertically, Tap Strap 2 will switch gears yet again into AirMouse mode.
From tablets through SmartTV’s to AR & VR the Tap Strap 2 allows you to type, mouse & control any environment. Simply tap your fingers on any surface or wave your hands in midair.

The second-generation Tap Strap 2 is a complete input solution for iPad, enabling users to rapidly input text and precisely navigate without the touchscreen interface.
