PenMount Gesture function indroduction

The last PenMount Bulletin mentioned PenMount driver support “Flick” function on Windows Tablet PC feature. It makes ordinary resistive touch screen becomes more convenient and fruitful the touch applications. PenMount plans “Gesture” will be worked with all resistive touch screen and operating system without Windows Tablet PC’s feature in the future. 

All the way we know in before, resistive touch screen only allows single touch input. PenMount team keep study and learn from market and feedback, know it is not all the applications need to be worked by two or more points in the same time but will be appreciated to provide gesture, just likes the modern SmartPhone or PDA, with the capability to zoom or roll the image. YES! There are a lot of advantaged mythologies make two or more points touch in the time become real, of course, PenMount works with Apex Material Technology Corp. also accomplished the feature by resistive touch panel which is no one done it before till now. Although we have made multi-finger touch true, PenMount team still hear the need and fulfill the demand of what we call “PenMount Gesture” for all those have already had resistive touch solution clients. 

PenMount Gesture supports PenMount 9000 and PenMount 6000 series controllers for both RS-232 and USB interface under Microsoft Windows XP and Vista operating systems. There is no need for any hardware change only driver updates to reach and gain the feature in painless way. PenMount team makes the feature as flexible and easy to be defined and let more functions can be worked by the gestures. 

At the moment, PenMount Gesture provides 15 kinds of writing gestures. All of the function can be defined by the user interface. The gesture functions can work as hotkeys function, open the application program or develop the own function accords with PenMount Gesture API. PenMount Gesture feature will be provided by PenMount Windows Universal Driver in near future. The schedule for the driver plans to be announced and released in the end of April.
