It’s pretty obvious from Microsoft’s outing of Windows 8 that touch goes to be an actual focus, but on machines that lack a touchscreen, it will become the trackpad pulling weight. Synaptics, a famed touchpad maker, has just outed a brand new concept video demonstrating how its products will eventually — in theory, anyway — interact with Microsoft’s forthcoming desktop OS. We’ve made no bones concerning the indisputable fact that most Windows-based laptops could use a major lesson in trackpad awesomeness, and while there isn’t any solution to know undoubtedly that the most recent Series 7 ClearPad and ClickPad solutions will feel like they should, the video hosted up after the break sure gives us reason to be optimistic.
Synaptics to illustrate Innovative Windows 8 Touch Technology Solutions During Microsoft Ecosystem Summit in Taipei
TAIPEI, Taiwan, Nov. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Synaptics Inc. (NASDAQ: SYNA), a number one developer of human interface solutions for mobile computing, communications and entertainment devices, should be displaying its latest Series 7 ClearPad™ and ClickPad™ solutions targeted for Microsoft Windows 8 in the course of the Microsoft Ecosystem Summit from November 8-10 in Taipei. One in all three official co-engineering partners for the touch interface in Windows 8, Synaptics provides industry leading system level engineering knowledge, combined with its broad portfolio of touch technology, to enrich the touch user experience for Windows 8.
Synaptics ClearPad Series 7 recently received an ideal score on Microsoft’s official qualification scorecard for both x86 (HID-USB) and ARM (HID-I2C) based implementations. In a personal suite on the Microsoft Ecosystem Summit this week, Synaptics shall be demonstrating its Series 7 high performance capacitive touch solution that supports both 10.1″ and 11.6″ touchscreens in “clamshell” notebook and slate form factors.
“The time for PC OEMs to design for Windows 8 with touch has arrived. Synaptics is happy to deliver at the promise of advanced touchscreen and innovative TouchPad technology, that may play an ideal role in how users interact with their Windows 8 PCs and tablets,” said Mark Vena, Senior Vp and General Manager of Synaptics’ PC Division. “We’re especially passionate about new product concepts like Intel’s thin and light-weight Ultrabook in an effort to take special good thing about Synaptics’ technology.”
As an exclusive in the course of the Microsoft Ecosystem Summit, Synaptics will preview a Windows 8 Multi-Touch ClickPad leveraging the InterTouch™ high speed interface, a mix that gives a compelling end user experience. The well-liked MetroUX touchscreen experience will utilize a Synaptics TouchPad for immediate and fluid navigation, replacing the traditional keyboard and mouse that users experience with a standard touchpad. This idea leverages three key Synaptics components: the proprietary Windows 8 SGS (Synaptics Gesture Suite) driver, a giant gesture area ClickPad™ with Image Sensing technology and an InterTouch high speed interface. Synaptics believes these are the basic technical ingredients for making a great user experience.
Synaptics Image Sensing technology enhances the Windows 8 platform by providing full-time tracking of as much as 10 fingers simultaneously when used with a recommended 100 x 56mm ClickPad. Synaptics InterTouch is a high speed, within your budget interface that utilizes an industry standard high bandwidth internal bus for true Multi-Touch “Full-Time Finger Tracking.” This technology approach creates the wealthy, gesture-driven user experience that Windows 8 multi-touch applications are intended to deliver.
