6/20/2023 0 Comments Taps per second testTapGenius was designed with the help of Learning Neuroscience specialists at Stanford University. The fastest way to learn is by playing the TapGenius Learning Game, which takes you through the Tap Alphabet using a series of fast, engaging challenges. The reason it is so much faster is because there is no need to learn the location of any keys – all you need to know are the finger combinations. Learning to Tap takes about 90 minutes – which is approximately one tenth of the time that it takes to learn to touch-type. This mode allows you to navigate menus with air gestures, select and go back, and search for content. The Smart TV Controller works with most popular devices, such as Amazon Firestick, Apple TV, and most Bluetooth BLE television sets. The Media Controller allows you to play, pause, skip tracks and adjust volume with simple gestures. While in Air Gesture mode, you can also activate the Media Controller and Smart TV Controller. If you are paired to an iOS device, you can go to the Home screen and to the App Switcher by clicking your thumb and index finger together. You can scroll by extending two fingers and flicking in the direction of the scroll. In Air Gesture Mode, Tap can emulate a standard mouse, allowing you to move the cursor by moving your hand, and to activate mouse clicks by extending one finger and flicking right and left. Air Gesture Mode works with any Bluetooth device that supports a mouse. When the hand is held in a ‘hand shake’ position, Tap will automatically switch to Air Gesture Mode. By using both the accelerometers and the IMU, Tap can determine the motion and orientation of the hand, and the position of the fingers. In addition to the 3-axis accelerometers in each finger ring, Tap has a 6-axis IMU in the thumb ring. There are taps for virtually all of the keys on a standard keyboard, and your Tap can also be customized so that you can activate keyboard shortcuts, modifiers and special symbols. Since there are two M’s in the word coMMa, it’s a quick way to learn. For example, to tap a comma, you would double tap the letter M. So, to spell the word, “INTO”, you would tap the following sequence: I = Middle Finger N = Thumb+Index T = Index+Middle O = Ring Finger To tap punctuation and special characters, you use double taps. “N” is the thumb and index finger, “T” is the index and middle finger, “L” is the middle and ring finger, and “S” is the ring and pinky. For example, the most common consonants, N, T, L and S, are tapped with two adjacent fingers. Some characters – the vowels – require only one finger to tap, while others require multiple fingers to tap at the same time. Each ‘chord’ corresponds to a character or keyboard command. The tapping motion is similar to playing chords on a piano. When the hand is turned so that it is perpendicular to the surface, (like shaking hands), then Tap goes into Air Mouse Mode, and when the hand is turned parallel to the surface, (the palm is facing down), it switches back to Keyboard Mode. When the user rests their thumb on a surface, Tap switches to Mouse Mode, and when the thumb is lifted, it switches back into Keyboard Mode. The Tap Strap operates in three modes that are automatically activated based on the position of the users hand. The nylon braid contains conductors that bring the signals from the sensors to the circuit board, where an MCU collects the data, derives the tap combination, and transmits the information via Bluetooth. Each ring contains a three-axis accelerometer, and the thumb ring also contains a six-axis IMU, an optical mouse chip, haptic element, battery, and circuit board. The Tap Strap consists of five flexible rings, connected together by strips of braided nylon.
