Teknologi.id . October 25, 2018
After first being unveiled nearly 12 months ago, Mui, interactive wood panel designed for digital living, has now been launched via Kickstarter providing a natural alternative interface that can be used to control smart home connect to the Internet and add uniqueness to a wide variety of different projects. The display is activated when you touch the surface, showing a minimal menu that disappears when the panel goes back into sleep mode. Watch the demonstration video below to learn more about the mui interactive wood panel which is being created by the developers at mui Labs based in Kyoto-shi, Japan. Early bird pledges are available from $499 or roughly £382 offering a 50 percent saving off the recommended retail price of $999, which will take effect once the crowdfunding campaign comes to an end. An “internet-connected block of wood” is a funny thought until you realize how seamlessly the display can blend into your home. Mui’s biggest strength is its ability to integrate digital platforms into everyday life in a warm, non-intrusive way. “Most homes and offices today are designed to accommodate technology, rather than to focus on the needs of humans who use the spaces,” the company writes on its Kickstarter page. “We created Mui to reverse that trend, to make digital more nature-centric.” Mui is funding now on Kickstarter, early adopters can back Mui for $499. Its price will go up to $999 when it ships. Mui is also offering a $999 developer version that comes with the Mui SDK and a Raspberry Pi connector. Mui is planned to ship in September 2019. As always, use your best judgment when backing crowdfunded products, as they can experience delays or fail to ship completely. You Might Also Like: Mirror: Smart Mirror Replaces Fitness Classes.
