Magnima to Launch its AirPoint Ring for Teachers, Trainers, and Speakers at the CES 2021.
Magnima’s innovative AirPoint Ring, a wireless wearable mouse ring ideal for teachers, trainers, and speakers created by a Catholic school teacher, is being launched at the Consumer Electronics Show.
- The AirPoint Ring is the world’s first wireless wearable mouse that offers dual surface and air tracking. Designed for delivering stunning presentations, the AirPoint Ring allows users to change slides with air gestures. With the flick of a finger, any apps on a connected Mac, Windows, iPad or tablet can be controlled wirelessly.
- The AirPoint Ring’s lead developer is Anoop Joseph, a firmware engineer at IBM from 2005-2008. With a desire to inspire the next generation in engineering, he joined the Brothers of St. Patrick, an international Roman Catholic religious congregation. Collaborating with a former colleague from IBM, he came up with the concept of the AirPoint Ring, which received its first patent in 2017.
- By wearing the AirPoint Ring, presenters can remotely control a host device, giving them unlimited freedom to present from anywhere.
MIDWAY CITY, Calif. – December 21, 2021 – Magnima will be introducing its innovative AirPoint Ring, a wireless wearable mouse ring ideal for teachers, trainers, and speakers, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2022) being held in Las Vegas from January 5-8.
The AirPoint Ring is the first wireless wearable mouse with dual surface and air tracking in the world. The AirPoint Ring is a presentation tool that allows users to change slides with simple air gestures. Any app on a linked Mac, Windows, iPad, or tablet can be operated wirelessly with a flick of a finger.
Teachers may present from anywhere by wearing the AirPoint Ring, which allows them to be away from their workstation and with their students while remotely controlling a host device.
Speakers no longer have to rely on a third party to manage their presentations, which might disrupt the flow. Corporate trainers will find that the AirPoint Ring app’s extensive capabilities improve interactivity and their ability to engage their audience.
Magnima was developed in 2017 by teachers linked with the Brothers of St. Patrick, an international Roman Catholic religious society, who discovered that current presentation clickers are insufficient for modern presentations.
The product concept was first exhibited at CES 2020 and received great enthusiasm and feedback. A refined prototype was exhibited again at the virtual CES 2021 and gathered strong interest from several distributors.
The AirPoint Ring’s lead developer is Anoop Joseph, a firmware engineer at IBM from 2005-2008. With a desire to inspire the next generation in engineering, he joined the Brothers of St. Patrick and focused on Catholic education. After earning a teaching credential at California State University at Long Beach, fellow teachers brought to his attention the need for a presentation controller that does more than just advance slides.
Joseph learned modern-day teaching involves showing videos and controlling multiple apps while circulating the classroom and that this required a new, innovative product. Collaborating with a former colleague from IBM, he came up with the concept of the AirPoint Ring, which received its first patent in 2017.
The AirPoint has been issued three patents and is available from Amazon and the Magnima website. For more information about Magnima and to purchase an AirPoint Ring, visit magnima.com
