N-trig, the company behind the Duosense technology that combines pen and capacitive touch in a single device, is unveiling new multi-touch applications running on Windows 7. A demonstration of various new software applications for the technology is available on Youtube.
A number of full multi-touch applications are available that enable more than two fingers to be used to work and play on a computer screen. These applications were designed using N-trig's Duosense touch technology and can be utilised by consumers and businesses for a wide range of activities, including consumer gaming, multi-media management, retail shopping and high-end engineering applications.
Ian LeGrow, principal group program manager at Microsoft, comments: "We are pleased to see how quickly our partners are developing multi-touch applications on Windows 7. This not only speaks to the ease of use in development, but also to the vision that these companies have in bringing people a unique experience and closer to their computers. N-trig is helping to lead the way for both innovative ways to interact with a PC and promoting involvement with hands-on computing. This is an exciting time for consumers and businesses alike as we get closer to the Windows 7 launch and availability of multi-touch capabilities."
Today's users have become accustomed to touchscreens at grocery stores, cinemas and cash point machines, and users can now interact directly with their own computers, manipulating items on the screen using more than two fingers – a natural and enhanced extension of how we work and play in today's modern world.
Joe Roberts, executive vice president for products at Corel, says: "Windows 7 and Windows Touch are giving Corel's software designers an incredible opportunity to enhance how consumers experience creative software. Whether you are working with photos, video or a digital painting, you do not have to rely on menus and mouse clicks to be creative. Touch innovation from industry leaders like N-trig is enabling Corel to design entirely new, natural and hands-on creative environments for consumers. Later this year, Corel will be unveiling unique and engaging multi-touch-enabled products that will help people get even more expressive with their PCs."
