3. Getting started

Bird communicates directly with your devices and acts as their controlling device. It enables rich interaction with digital content and media as it is displayed on a screen, wall, table or any other surface. With Bird on your finger, you will now be able to control your content naturally and instinctively, from anywhere in the room, away from your PC.

This user guide will walk you through the different interaction methods that Bird supports; including touch, remote touch and gesture control.

Before you start using Bird for the first time, you have to download the Bird’s application from the following link: https://www.muvinteractive.com/birdapp and install it on your PC. Once the application is installed, you should connect the Bird's base unit to any 5V power source via USB. You will know that the Base unit is connected, by a ‘v’ sign next to the word Base unit in the Bird application (for detailed instructions about Bird's installation process, please read the installation guide).

Get ready to fly

Get ready to fly ---- wwwwear the Bird on your index finger:

Insert your Right Hand index finger delicately into Bird as per the drawing. Make sure that the tip of your finger sits comfortably against the Glider. Bird should feel comfortably snug around your finger.

The Bird's application and the Base-unit will automatically recognize that Bird is ready for use. You will know that your Bird is connected by the circle next to the words “Bird unit” at the top of the Bird application.

When using Bird for the first time you should click on the 'Home button' for 5 seconds until you see the following message: 'Bird with ID xxxxx tries to connect. Allow". Click on 'Yes' to pair the Bird.

Activating / Deactivating BirdActivating / Deactivating Bird At any given moment, only one Bird can be active and control the content. To activate a Bird, you should touch the Glider by pinching your index finger and thumb together. When you want another Bird to take control you should “release” the session by lowering the palm of your hand in a 90 degrees’ angle. The next user can now activate Bird and take control. To help you recognize the active Bird, every Bird has a feedback point in a different color. This way you can easily learn who is controlling the session at the moment. In Multi Bird mode all the connected Birds can be active simultaneously.

a. Air-Mouse

a.a.

Air-Mouse is the default mode of the Bird system and it is a perfect mode for you to get familiar with the Bird system or when you need a quick setup. It is a simple and intuitive plug and play mode, which allows you to control any type of display. All you need to do is connect the Base unit and put Bird on your finger. Make sure they are both connected by looking at the status bar at the top of the Bird application.

Air-Mouse mode is the best mode for working with TV’s or in cases the light conditions does not allow you to work in standard mode. In addition, it is the best working mode for cases when you need to setup the system quickly and with minimum effort.

You may also use touch in Air-Mouse mode, however, keep in mind that in order to use touch, you will be required to aim the base unit to the projected area and perform Geometric calibration.

TIP

TIP: In takeoff mode you should only move the palm of your hand (and not your wrist) to

TIPTIP control the content.

b. Multi Bird

b.b.

In Multi Bird mode up to 5 users can interact with the same content simultaneously. Every user that has Bird on his finger can control the content from anywhere in the room, using his favorite interaction method. For example, a few users can paint or annotate together on the display (using touch or remote touch), play multiplayer games or interact with the content together in a meeting.

Please note that Multi touch is only available in standard mode.

Tip: Multi Bird mode uses Windows Touch features available features: https://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/touch-mouse-and-

c. Standard

c.c.

Standard mode lets you take advantage of all the benefits that system offers. In this mode the system knows the exact position of your hand at any moment and therefore it provides you with pixel perfect precision and with the smoothest interaction. Every small movement of you hand will be recognized by the system and it will always know exactly where you’re pointing at.

Standard mode is recommended when working with projectors and in cases the setup of the room does not change, therefore it is the optimal mode for meeting rooms, classrooms, large venues, etc.

Please note that working when you start working in standard mode, you will be asked to calibrate the system. The calibration process helps the Base Unit study the conditions in the room in order to ensure the optimal functionality of Bird. The process comprises of 2 parts: adopting the system to light conditions in the room (Optical Calibration) and setting the area you are interacting with (Geometric Calibration)

Once you switch to Standard mode calibration process. Follow the instructions to calibrate the Bird system.

(for detailed instructions about Bird's installation process, please read the installation guide).

Appendix 1: Radio Frequency Scanning

Introduction

Bird communicates with the base unit over RF (Radio Frequencies) of 2.4 GHz. Since this band is also used by Wi-Fi, BT and additional RF technologies, it might cause interference in certain locations. The frequency scanning feature allows the administrator to scan several RF channels and choose the best one for his or her location.

1. Click on the Settings

Settings icon in the Bird application and select 'Radio Frequencies

2. Make sure that the Base unit and Bird are connected. Place Bird on your finger before

you start scanning and keep it on throughout the entire process.

3. Click on Auto scan to start the scanning process – the system will start scanning all

available channels and will stop once it finds a good channel (From 11 to 26).

4. Click on the ''''Start Manual

* Please note that the test duration is quite long (~5 minutes), but it should only need to be performed one time as part of the system installation.
