Bird is an interactive input device designed by Israel-based startup, MUV Interactive, which develops technology for wearable interfaces. Bird connects to smartphones, tablets, and computers to make any surface an interactive 3D environment. It includes remote touch, gesture control, voice command and mouse functionality.

Rami Parham, CEO and founder of MUV Interactive, established the company in 2011 with his brother, aiming to create an advanced way to interact with connected devices. Parham and COO Yuval Ben-Zeev founded MUV Interactive in Herzliya, Israel. In 2013, MUV Interactive raised seed funding from investors, including the OurCrowd funding platform, for the development of Bird.

Bird is a device which is worn on the index finger to allow the user to engage and interact with their digital content. The wearable uses motion sensing technology to turn a TV or projected image into an interactive display from up close like a touchscreen or remotely with gestures. Up to ten Bird devices can be used on the same surface. The device operates through 10 different sensors, including accelerometer, motion and proximity sensors. Algorithms analyze the data including the wearer's position in space, pointing direction, hand posture, voice commands, and pressure levels from the sensors in real time. Bird's sensors detect with pixel-point accuracy up to 30 meters and functions up to 100 feet away from the interactive area.

Bird can also be used as a smart controller for smart appliances including smart light bulbs and thermostats and as a control for drones using gestures. MUV Interactive focuses on the business and education sectors.
