NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Convergence Technologies, LLC (CT), a New York-based consumer electronics start-up, announced today that it will begin fundraising for the development and manufacturing of the Bridge, an all-in-one wireless keyboard, mouse and universal remote for computers, Smart TVs and home entertainment systems. CT aims to fundraise $50,000 by December 31st, 2011, at which point it will put the gears in motion to bring the Bridge to market in full force.
The Bridge’s design combines universal remote capabilities with smartphone style typing, thanks to a full QWERTY keyboard, while featuring the familiarity and ergonomics of a video game controller. With the widespread growth of online video, the Bridge will help users access the full potential of streaming video content on their TVs. It will eliminate the need for tedious onscreen keyboards when searching for your favorite movies or TV shows on your Smart TV, Apple TV or Roku!
Customers will be able to pre-order the Bridge remote via Kickstarter to help bring this product to market. The Bridge is selling for $65 on Kickstarter. Supporters have several rewards to choose from, including a Red Limited Edition Bridge!
Convergence Technologies, LLC was founded by Harsh Mody, Ryan Mao and Vicente De La Cruz in 2009. CT’s mission is to narrow the gap between computers and home entertainment systems.
