Stantum Introduces TouchPark(TM), Advanced Multi-Touch Software Framework
BARCELONA, Spain, February 16 /PRNewswire/ --
At the Mobile World Congress today, Stantum Technologies
(www.stantum.com), a pioneer developer of multi-touch sensing technology,
announced a multi-touch framework with such advanced features as gesture
recognition, context-dependent cursor management, and a virtual physics
processor.
Called TouchPark(TM), the new framework will run on leading operating
systems (Symbian, Windows Mobile, and Android) and semiconductor platforms,
including Texas Instruments Zoom, Freescale i.MX, and ST Nomadic --
demonstrating Stantum's ability to implement its multi-touch panel technology
in standard environments. Stantum also provides all the necessary software
bricks to take advantage of this technology, including low-level software
layers to communicate with the multi-touch panel.
TouchPark's gesture recognition module interprets such user gestures as
pinch (zoom), twist, close, and rotate. The virtual physics processor
provides a natural look and feel of actions shown on the display, based on
the type and speed of gestures used on the multi-touch panel; for example, it
can slow down the speed during the final phase of a scrolling on lists or
graphical objects and can bound when reaching an edge or a limit defined by a
window or the screen size.
At MWC (Hall 2.1, Stand 2.1F67), Stantum is exhibiting a beta version of
TouchPark in a mobile demonstration which simulates a mobile device user
interface with applications such as address book, drawing, picture resize,
and gaming, showing unprecedented multi-touch experience in action.
