New Active Stylus Enables Simultaneous Pen & Touch Directly on Screen,
Replicating Pen and Paper Experience
NEW YORK, 2012-05-10 15:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Perceptive Pixel, the leading provider of advanced user interface solutions,
announces general availability of its active stylus, which enables simultaneous
pen and stylus input, an industry first. While other solutions on the market
require inefficient mode switching, the Perceptive Pixel active stylus delivers
an entirely natural on-screen drawing or writing experience without the need to
toggle between input modes.

The active stylus functions like a regular pen, allowing you to sketch,
annotate, design, draw and brainstorm directly on Perceptive Pixel's
high-performance, true multi-touch, projected capacitive (pro-cap) displays.
Use one hand to write or draw and use the other to reposition the on-screen
object, just as you would with pen and paper. The company's pro-cap displays
detect an unlimited number of fingers and up to four simultaneous stylus
inputs. Patented controller technology perfectly differentiates styluses from
fingers while tracking input from each stylus separately and eliminating false
touches. The Perceptive Pixel active stylus is sold as an accessory to its
popular 27- and 82-inch displays.
Features include:
-- Natural Interaction - annotate or draw directly on screen with your
dominant hand while zooming or repositioning on-screen objects with your
other hand
-- Palm Rejection - the display recognizes and intelligently ignores palm or
forearm touch input so that you can rest your hand comfortably on the
screen as you write or draw
-- Identity Recognition - up to four people can work simultaneously with a
stylus on the pro-cap displays, each stylus with its own distinct input
stream, which can be tracked and used by applications
-- Hover Capability - the display sensor recognizes styluses as they hover up
to 1/2 inch above the screen, enabling software to report additional
information such as latitude/longitude, distance, time/depth, x/y/z
coordinates and more, prior to engaging the screen
-- Programmability - develop unique functionality or innovative
stylus-enabled, multi-touch applications using the Perceptive Pixel API
-- Precision & Pressure Sensitivity - a sharp point allows for sub-pixel
precision and registers pressure to capture the nuance of your stroke as
you write or draw
-- Ergonomic Design - the soft-coated barrel of our active stylus is
comfortable to hold and features a switch that can emulate familiar
right-click, left-click mouse input or that can be programmed for any
function
Bob Pette, COO and interim CEO at Perceptive Pixel says, 'Being able to work so
naturally on screen with a stylus is unprecedented. All other stylus solutions
only register a single mode at a time. Our programmable stylus paired with
simultaneous multi-touch input enables greater levels of performance and
productivity across many industries. It will deliver a transformative
experience to everyone from professional artists in product design to
geoscientists searching for new petrochemical reserves.'
HP is a Perceptive Pixel partner and an early evaluator of the active stylus.
Bruce Blaho, chief technologist, Commercial Solutions Business Unit, HP, and HP
Fellow, adds, 'While touch is great for sorting and analyzing information,
fingers are not ideal for high-precision work. The Perceptive Pixel active
stylus is perfect for HP workstation customers in design and creation, and it
works seamlessly with touch -- an impressive breakthrough that will enhance the
overall user experience and boost productivity.'
The Perceptive Pixel active stylus is a revolutionary new tool that leverages
the latest advances in multi-touch technology to enable professionals from
every industry to recapture the familiar and natural way they work with pen and
paper. To learn more about the active stylus, visit www.perceptivepixel.com.
