The world’s biggest tech companies — Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook — believe that Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) are the future.

Here's what Apple CEO Tim Cook said about it: “I’m excited about AR. My view is it’s the next big thing, and it will pervade our entire lives."

And here's Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg: “AR and VR have the potential to change the trajectory of the company over the long term."

By 2024, the AR/VR market is expected to reach $300 billion. But there’s a major problem: current solutions for entering text and navigating menus with this technology are slow, frustrating, and prone to error.

Tap Systems has created a solution. It’s developed a wearable "smart" keyboard, made up of sensors that connect to your hand.

These sensors record finger movements as you type, creating a fast, easy, accurate way to navigate AR/VR systems. Tap’s system is just like typing on a traditional keyboard, only in the world of AR/VR.

CEO Dovid Schick took his last startup public within five years. And his co-founder, Dr. Sabrina Kemeny, co-invented the CMOS image sensor chip. This technology enabled the creation of smartphone cameras and is now used in almost every camera on Earth.

Tap has already raised more than $13 million, and has patented its technology.
