BARCELONA, Feb. 16, 2009 – 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™, 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 that simulates a mobile device user interface with applications such as address book, drawing, picture resize, and gaming, showing unprecedented multi-touch experience in action.
