Synaptics Adds TouchPad Gesture Recognition

Synaptics Inc. has announced its advanced gestures ChiralRotate and Two-Finger Flick. Used in notebooks and peripheral keyboards, the Synaptics TouchPads are available with gesture recognition capabilities compatible with hundreds of MS Windows applications. ChiralRotate lets users move one finger in circular motion to rotate images and graphics in applications. Two-Finger Flick lets users, depending on application, use 2 fingers to flick horizontally to navigate back-and-forth through images, documents, and objects or flick vertically to minimize/maximize application. These enhanced gesture options are available now on Synaptics TouchPads for PC notebook and keyboard devices.
