Gestures and Multi-Touch

A gesture is an action that the user takes that is recognized by a device, which then performs a specified function. The functions associated with a gesture are customizable and can be tailored to meet the specific needs of a device or application. As human interfaces become more intelligent and intuitive, more and more gestures can guide devices.

Synaptics excels in gestures and multi-touch technology, and has a growing library of solutions that can be integrated in our human interfaces. Enhanced Gesture Recognition (EGR), Flick, Two-finger Flick, ChiralMotion™, and ChiralRotate™ all put new functionality at the user’s fingertips. And just a gesture activates it. What could be more intuitive?

Why choose it?

• Intuitive Use—Gestures are inherently intuitive, since they mirror known user actions.
• Easy Input—Our technology can recognize complex patterns of multiple touches and turn them into input.
• A Richer User Experience—Ultimately, gestures and touch interactions translate into easier use.
• Flexibility—Bring gestures to PC notebooks (TouchPad) and mobile devices (ClearPad).
