SAN FRANCISCO, December 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Turn Your TV Into Giant Touchscreen Tablet 

Today, Touchjet is excited to announce that following the final round of the FCC approval, the WAVE TV Tablet system will now be available at BestBuy.com, as well as customers being able to pre-order from the Touchjet website.

Touchjet WAVE has impressed users with its openness, affordability and accessibility, thanks to its touchscreen technology for interactive media. Available to purchase for $299.99, WAVE can attach to any flat screen up to 65" and run any Android app, without the need to connect a laptop, or use of any additional cables. With giant touchscreen devices costing thousands of dollars, the WAVE offers the same functionality for both the business and consumer tech world as a non-obtrusive option.

The Touchjet WAVE can be controlled by the swipe of your finger, along with any stylus or smart device, should people wish to not touch their screen directly. The remote-control functions can be administered through the companion Touchjet app, available for free on Android and iOS. In addition, users can also freely download Touchjet Present from Google Play and the App Store, which operates in conjunction with (and independently from) WAVE, and allows users to share documents, and annotate notes directly from individual screens across all devices.

With FCC approval now completed, Touchjet WAVE will begin delivering to pre-order customers from today.

Helen Thomas - Co-founder of Touchjet comments; "To pass all FCC testing and achieve availability in the US with a top retailer, 14 months after the close of a crowdfunding campaign, is quite an accomplishment. We're delighted to now be shipping to customers who have already pre-ordered the Touchjet WAVE, so people can begin experiencing the usefulness of large touchscreen technology at home and in the workplace. We want to thank all contributors to this journey. We now have to generate sales to fund all units for backers. Therefore, it is important that our community continue to support this innovation."

Touchjet collaborative technology offers multiple user cases, as users can easily access presentations, PDFs, and videos via the Cloud, without needing to connect a laptop. Invite participants to join your meeting by installing the Touchjet Present app on their smart devices or computer (via the Web) and whatever you're presenting will instantly appear on their screens.

Users can collaborate by annotating on the big screen (WAVE) and all participating smart devices, and a meeting report is automatically generated at the end of the meeting and sent via email to the host.

This allows optimum workflow and efficiency in the conference room, and also offers an affordable solution in the classroom for touchscreen and collaborative work. At home, Touchjet turns the family TV into the ultimate entertainment center, where you can enjoy doodling on photos on the big screen and on your mobile device, as well as playing games together.
