How does AirBar work?

Once attached at the bottom of the screen the sensor will project an invisible light field parallel to the screen, it will then be able to register the touch responses and interact with Windows 8 / 10 gestures. Now this device works with any PC that runs Windows 8/10 or you can also use a Chromebook. For now it does not work with MacBooks (limited functions).
