Leader in Hands-on® Computing Highlights New Relationship with Windows 7 Logo
Kfar Saba, Israel and Austin, TX – August 18th, 2009 — N-trig, providers of DuoSense® solution combining pen and capacitive touch in a single device, announced that it has earned the Windows 7 logo, enabling computers with DuoSense functionality to take full advantage of the true multi-touch capabilities for up to 4 fingers in Windows 7.
With Microsoft Corp.’s advent of Windows 7 combined with the DuoSense solution, the door is open to create a new standard in PC interfacing, which offers ISVs the ability to develop applications that allow users to interact directly with their products in completely new ways, further helping to break down the barriers between people and their computers.
N-trig has worked closely with Microsoft to ensure the most natural and simple transition from the mouse to the finger. This enables today's user who are already accustomed to touch screens, whether at grocery stores, movie theatres or cash point machines to be able to interact directly with their computers, using their fingers to manipulate items on the screen for a more fun, interactive and productive user experience.
“We are honored to be recognized by Microsoft and will continue to work together with them in developing multi-touch solutions that excite and encourage the marketplace to develop and utilize programs that enable the use of up to 4 fingers,” said Amichai Ben-David, CEO of N-trig. “We will continue to develop an environment that will break through current technology barriers and provide end-users with a truly unique and Hands-on computing experience."
N-trig’s DuoSense technology can currently be found in Dell’s Latitude XT/XT2 and HP’s TouchSmart tx2. In conjunction with the public launch of Windows 7, the company will also be announcing additional OEM design wins.
