Great news about one of the startups many MLA members have participated in. Proud to be supporting such great innovation in our country.
I’m very excited for the official announcement of the Logitech MX Ink: a new mixed reality stylus for use with Meta Quest headsets. I’m also very pleased that the MX Ink is fully integrated with Elucis and that Realize Medical Inc. is one of Logitech’s initial application partners. We designed Elucis to be used with a stylus right from the initial prototype.
