The mui Board interface introduces new ways for consumer to interact with technology.

At CES Unveiled (Jan. 3) and CES 2022 (Jan. 5-8), mui Lab, Inc., the Kyoto-based IoT startup will introduce a new calm, visual interface that works with Alexa. The interface is a version of the “mui Board,” the company’s award-winning smart-home control hub made with natural wood. When users speak to Alexa, the interface executes their voice commands silently via a minimalistic visual display (e.g., setting a timer) and provides haptic control (e.g., a control bar) to let users enjoy technological assistance in a brand-new “calm” and peaceful manner.
