Gesture Recognition
Proximity Sensor Array
The heart of FngerWorks' patented MultiTouch technology is a unique, 2-dimensional
proximity sensor array that produces images of fingers and hands near or touching its
surface. Accompanying software then recognizes and tracks all the fingers and hands

moving on the surface.

Traditional touchpad and touchscreen sensing technologies, in comparison, can only track
motions of a single finger, and become confused if more than one finger ever touches. This
means these old technologies don't let the fingers work together as a whole hand, as the
fingers naturally do with all other handheld tools. Also, traditional touchpads don't spread the
workload evenly amongst the fingers the way MultiTouch does, to avoid repetitive stress on
one finger.

FingerWorks products include a low-power on-board microprocessor whose first job is to
collect and process image data from the MultiTouch sensing surface. It then recognizes,
tracks, and interprets finger and hand motion, ultimately generating mouse or key
sequences for the host computer's USB port. All FingerWorks products emulate standard
USB keyboard & USB mouse, so they simply plug & play on Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and
newer Unix operating systems.

Rich Gesture Capability
MultiTouch technology used as a computer input device provides many new capabilities and
benefits. It gives the computer user much more control of graphical and text objects while
providing the same functionality of the keyboard and mouse. MultiTouch also eliminates the
need to reach for a mouse by providing an interface that enables normal typing and mouse
operations over its entire surface. Pointing, gestures, and keys are always available right
under the fingers, minimizing wasteful hand motion:
o Touching 1 finger at a time is recognized as a keystroke command.
m Simultaneously dropping two fingertips on the surface initiates pointing.
o Simultaneous thumb and fingertip motions become gesture commands.
MultiTouch cari receive and interpret input anywhere on its surface. Operations like copy,

cut, paste, save, open, close, scroll, zoom, pan and a host of other multi-key commands are
all done with simple, easy-to-repeat, and easy-to-learn gestures.

The number of gestures that MultiTouch recognizes is quite lo.se. Hand translation, rotation,
scaling, and wobble motions provide about 12 unique gestures for each finger combination
(chord). Since MultiTouch distinguishes about a dozen chords per hand, FingerWorks
products can recognize over a hundred simple gestures per hand! Sound like a lot to
memorize7 Most people just learn the gestures for the commands they need often. Also,
each group of gestures is easily learned as a chunk (rather than memorizing one gesture at
a time) because gestures with complementary motions invoke complementary, intuitively
related commands. e.g., Undo & Redo are learned as one, reversible motion.

How clo touchscreen
monitors know where
you're touching?

age 1 of 2

a
The Casio EX-Z1000,

with 10.1 MegaPixels...

Touchscreen monitors have become more and more commonplace as their price has

steadily dropped over the past decade. There are three basic systems that are used to

recognize a person's touch:
• Resistive
• Capacitive
• Surface acoustic wave

The resistive system consists of a normal glass panel that is covered with a conductive
and a resistive metallic layer. These two layers are held apart by spacers, and a scratchresistant layer is placed on top of the whole setup. An electrical current runs through the
two layers while the monitor is operational. When a user touches the screen, the two
layers make contact in that exact spot. The change in the electrical field is noted and the
coordinates of the point of contact are calculated by the computer. Once the coordinates
are known, a special driver translates the touch into something that the opgratlag¾stem
can understand, much as a computer mouse driver translates a mouse's movements into a
click or a drag.
In the capacitive system, a layer that stores electrical charge is placed on the glass

panel of the monitor. When a user touches the monitor with his or her finger, some of the
charge is transferred to the user, so the charge on the capacitive layer decreases. This
decrease is measured in circuits located at each corner of the monitor. The computer
calculates, from the relative differences in charge at each corner, exactly where the touch
event took place and then relays that information to the touchscreen driver software. One
advantage that the capacitive system has over the resistive system is that it transmits
almost 90 percent of the liglLtt from the monitor, whereas the resistive system only
transmits about 75 percent. This gives the capacitive system a much clearer picture than
the resistive system.

On the monitor of a surface acoustic wave system, two transducers (one receiving and

one sending) are placed along the x and y axes of the monitor's glass plate. Also placed
on the glass are reflectors -- they reflect an electrical signal sent from one transducer to
the other. The receiving transducer is able to tell if the wave has been disturbed by a touch
event at any instant, and can locate it accordingly. The wave setup has no metallic layers
on the screen, allowing for 100-percent light throughput and perfect image clarity. This
makes the surface acoustic wave system best for displaying detailed graphics (both other
systems have significant degradation in clarity).

Another area in which the systems differ is in which stimuli will register as a touch event.
A resistive system registers a touch as long as the two layers make contact, which means
that it doesn't matter if you touch it with your finger or a rubber ball. A capacitive system,
on the other hand, must have a conductive input, usually your finger, in order to register a
touch. The surface acoustic wave system works much like the resistive system, allowing a
touch with almost any object -- except hard and small objects like a pen tip.
As far as price, the resistive system is the cheapest; its clarity is the lowest of the three,
and its layers can be damaged by sharp objects. The surface acoustic wave setup is
usually the most expensive.

'ouchscreen Work?

Introduction

Now at: Home > introduction > How Touchscreens Work

How Does a Touchscreen Work?
A basic touchscreen has three main components: a touch sensor, a controller, and a
software driver. The touchscreen is an input device, so it needs to be combined with a
display and a PC or other device to make a complete touch input system.
11omhhensar
A touch screen sensor is a clear glass panet with a touch responsive surface. The touch
sensor/panel is placed over a display screen so that the responsive area of the panel covers
the viewable area of the video screen. There are several different touch sensor technologies
on the market today, each using a different method to detect touch input. The sensor
generally has an electrical current or signal going through it and touching the screen causes
a voltage or signal change. This voltage change is used to determine the location of the
touch to the screen.

2

2. Controller

The controller is a small PC card that connects between the touch sensor and the PC. It takes information from the touch sensor and translates it into

information that PC can understand. The controller is usually installed inside the monitor for integrated monitors or it is housed in a plastic case for external
touch add-onsloverlays. The controller determines what type of interface/connection you will need on the PC. Integrated touch monitors will have an extra
cable connection on the back for the touchscreen. Controllers are available that can connect to a Serial/COM port (PC) or to a USB port (PC or Macintosh).
Specialized controllers are also available that work with DVD players and other devices.
3. Software Driver

The driver is a software update for the PC system that allows the touchscreen and computer to work together. It tells the computer's operating system how
to interpret the touch event information that is sent from the controller. Most touch screen drivers today are a mouse-emulation type driver. This makes
touching the screen the same as clicking your mouse at the same location on the screen. This allows the touchscreen to work with existing software and
allows new applications to be developed without the need for touchscreen specific programming. Some equipment such as thin client terminals, DVD
players and specialized computer systems either do not use software drivers or they have their own built-in touch screen driver.
Touchscreens Add-ons and Integrated Touchscreen Monitors
We offer two main types of touchscreen products, touchscreen add-ons and integrated touchscreen
monitors. Touchscreen add-ons are touchscreen panels that hang over an existing computer
monitor. Integrated touchscreen monitors are computer displays that have the touchscreen built-in.
Both product types work in the same way, basically as an input device like a mouse or trackpad.
Touchscreens As Input Device
All of the touchscreens that we offer basically work like a mouse. Once the software driver for the
touchscreen is installed, the touchscreen emulates mouse functions. Touching the screen is
basically the same as clicking your mouse at the same point at the screen. When you touch the
touchscreen, the mouse cursor will move to that point and make a mouse click. You can tap the
screen twice to perform a double-click, and you can also drag your finger across the touchscreen to

What are mouse gestures?
Mouse movements in combination with a click-hold and optionally a modifier that execute
some browser functions. You press mouse button, draw a gesture, and release mouse button
(you can choose which button to use in advanced preferences). This gesture is recognized
and appropriate action is triggered.
For details, visit our Supported Gestures page.

Configurations
Mouse only configuration

The default configuration is with the left mouse and no modifier key. This command set
overlaps with the text selection methods. The unaesthetic highlighting feedback aside, it is
possible for both functions to coexist. By pausing at the end of a text selection the mouse
gesture will be cancelled. Gestures have by default a minimum size of 15 pixels. Pause before
canceling gesture and minimal gesture size is configurable.
*nix Configuration

If you've got a middle mouse button, use it!
Other Configuration

To use the drag over link features, a modifier or non-left-mouse click setting is required.
(Draging over link with left mouse button is used for drag-and-drop functions, you can for
example drag a link to your personal toolbar.) These settings have the additional benefit of
eliminating selection feedback and reduces interference with text selection. You can also
choose more then one modifier key if you prefer.
Details on adding your own gestures, or disabling current gestures, can be found in this
technote.

About
Mouse gestures were first implemented in a browser in Opera . The idea traces back to the
70s with the notion of pie menus.

APLNDC00025706

Ándy Edmonds put the original XPI toolbar package together after hearing a reference to the
peed for this in Mozilla and discovering that Pavol Vaskovic had done all the hard work in
building the event listener and configuration utility. See bug 76537. For more on mouse
gestures in other applications, see this Eazel thread or recent rambling /. on this
implementation. Gestures have also gotten lots of use via their inclusion in the game Black
and White and in popular 3d modeling programs like Maya.

For operating system level gestures, see the commercial Windows Sensiva or open source
Linux libStroke implementations.
The package also owes a debt to David Isley whose UserAgent Toolbar formed the inspiration
for a quick way to get gestures into mozilla. Numerous others have contributed to the
individual gesture implementations including Exotrip and the resources at bookmarklets.com,
squarefree.

- Hand Imaging Technology

'age 1 of 1

MultiTouch Overview
MultiTouch technology comprises hardware and software elements for sensing,
tracking, and interpreting the motion of multiple hands and multiple fingers on a touch
imaging surface.
As a computer interface, MultiTouch is used to enable regular typing, mouse, and
gesture input in the same overlapping area of a single surface. MultiTouch can also
accept hand written input using a stylus or a fingertip. With MultiTouch, all of the
important input modes with the exception of voice (i.e., handwriting, typing, mouse,
gesture, force, and attitude) are satisfied with a single sensing surface.
-

The MultiTouch sensor array is deposited on a flexible or rigid surface that can be made
in arbitrary shape, size, and thickness. It has the potential to be manufactured on thin
and flexible plastic substrates using extremely low cost methods such as web and roll

processmg.

PenTouch Capacitive Touchscreens
The PenTouch Capacitive screen is a durable Capacitive type touchscreen with an attached
pen stylus. The PenTouch screen can be set to respond to finger input only, pen input only,
or both. A capacitive touch screen consists of a glass panel with a capacitive (charge storing)
material coating its surface. Circuits located at corners of the screen measure the
capacitance of a person touching the overlay. Frequency changes are measured to
determine the X and Y coordinates of the touch event.

Now at: Home > Introduction > Comparing Technologies > Comparing Touch Technologies > Surface Acoustic Wave

Surface Acoustic Wave Touchscreens
Surface Acoustic Wave technology is one of the most advanced touch screen types. It is based on sending
acoustic waves across a clear glass panel with a series of transducers and reflectors. When a finger touches
the screen, the waves are absorbed, causing a touch event to be detected at that point.
Because the panel is all glass there are no layers that can be worn, giving this technology the highest
durability factor and also the highest clarity. This technology is recommended for public information kiosks,
computer based training, or other high traffic indoor environments.

FingerWorke - Tips for Typing on the Mini

age 1 of 2

Tips For Typing
HEALTH WARNING: If you experience symptoms such as persistent or recurring
discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensations or stiffness
in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body when using a
computer, DO NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNSI PROMPTLY CONSULT
YOUR DOCTOR OR PHYSICAL THERAPIST. Ask them for guidance BEFORE trying
any new input devices! Remember that pain is likely to increase during the first few
days of trying a new device because your body tends to tense up as it is learning new
motions and postures. You may also be more susceptible to further injury during this

learning period. For this reason, your doctor will probably tell you to restrict use of new

devices to short periods of a few minutes a day for the first few days or weeks while
your body adjustsl

e General Typing:
Tap each key's symbol lightly but crisply with one finger at a time. Do NOT
bang on the keys. Try using the minimum force possible.
= Hand Resting:
To rest a hand without activating keys, drop ALL FIVE fingers
SIMULTANEOUSLY anywhere on the surface.
m Hunt & Peck Typing:
Tap each key's symbol lightly but crisply with one finger at a time, taking care
not to accidentally tap unintended keys. (It may be easiest to float your hands
above the surface while typing, but rest them during pauses).
m Typematic:
To activate 'typematic' or auto-repeat, lift all fingers of a hand off the surface,
then touch and hold one finger on the desired symbol. Once that key starts
repeating, you can drop the other fingers back onto the surface. To stop
typematic, lift any finger off the surface.
o Modifier Chords (Shifting):

Reaching for the Shift keys can be even more awkward on a touch surface
than on a normal keyboard. Therefore we invented a much more
comfortable, zero-reach alternative called Modifier Chords that you'll
probably want to learn:
a When ready to capitalize a letter, just drop and hold 4 fingertips from
one hand (excluding the thumb). This is the Shift chord,

FingerWorks - Tips for Typing on the Mini

Page 2 of 2

m Type the letter to be capitalized with the opp Lte hand.
m OR:

m Lift one of the 4 fingertips from the Shift chord and use it to tap the
letter (while the others stay on surface).
m Lift all 4 of the fingertips off home row. This turns off Shift.
The timing is really the same as a regular Shift keys. You're just holding 4
fingertips down instead of reaching with your pinky. Modifier chords are also

just as flexible as modifier keys:

a Spreading the 4 fingertips wide as you drop them on the surface
activates the Ctrl chord, which works similarly. On Macs this will be the
Open Apple/Cmd modifier.

m To type whole words uppercase with a single Shift chord, just make
sure at least 1 of the 4 fingertips remains on the surface as you type
desired letters. (Lift one or two of the 4 fingertips at a time to reach for
keys, and leave them down as they drop on target keys).
m Shift-click can be done with modifier chords by holding the Shift chord
with one hand and tapping 2 fingertips with the other hand.
m OR: Shift-click within one hand by dropping 4 fingertips, then
lifting and tapping 2 of the 4 simultaneously.
m Be careful not to roll the 4 fingertips as the Shift chord begins or you
will get scrolling instead.
m When you want to rest a hand, make sure to drop all 5 fingers
simultaneously. Resting just 4 fingers may be interpreted as a Shift
chord.

m Regular modifier keys are still needed for multi-modifier hotkeys like
Ctrl-Alt-Delete. Make sure the fingers come down on the Ctrl and Alt
keys one at a time-if they strike simultaneously they could be

misinterpreted as a two-finger click.
Relax and rest frequently.

TOU¾CHNOLOG .
Overview
Most touch solutions have a touch -- attached to a
video display unit. ¯lhe touch screen works with a
controller and a software device driver to es.... a touch,
determine its location, and transmit the information to the

computer's operating system. Touch solutions primarily
use one of five technologies, each with characteristics
that make it best suited for specific applications.

RESISTIVE

layers, closing a switch

Resistive technology is versatile and economical for applications
such as food service and retail point-of-sale, industrial process
control and instrumentation, portable and handheld products,
and communication devices.
Resistive touch screens have a flexible
top layer and a rigid bottom layer
separated by insulating dots, with the
inside surface of each layer coated with
a transparent conductive coating.
Voltage applied to the layers produces a
gradient across each layer. Pressing the
flexible top sheet omates electrical

contact between the resistive layers,
essentially closing a switch in the
circuit.

Advantages
• Value solution
• Activated by any stylus
• High touch point resolution
• Low power requirements
Disadvantages
• Reduced optical clarity
• Polyester surface can be
damaged

Controller determines
between layers to get touch coordinates

CAPACITIVE
Capacitive technology offers durability, reliability, and optical clarity.
Popular applications include gaming machines, ATM installations, kiosks,
industrial equipment, and point-of-sale.

Advantages
• Extremely durable
• Very accurate
• Good optical clarity
• Good resolution
Disadvantages
• Requires bare finger or
capacitive stylus
• Severe scratch can affect
operation within the
damaged area

Capacitive touch screens are
curved or flat glass substrates
coated with a transparent metal
oxide. A voltage is applied to the
corners of the overlay creating a
minute uniform electric field.
A bare finger draws current from
each corner of the electric field,
creating a voltage drop that is
measured to determine touch
location,

and renamed It Penabled . Penabled by WACOM is the new technology brand for our novel
EMR technology, and it is identical in terms of the core technology we have being using over
the last decade and a half.

How it's made
A Component-less printed circuit board where the copper tracks provide a multitude of overlapping antenna coils In both the x and y directions. The p.c.b. is manufactured from glass
epoxy or PET film. Underneath the sensor is a magnetic reflector used to enhance and shield

the magnetic field. The sensor is placed underneath and penetrates the display. Hence there is
no transmission loss of the display, and also since the sensor is embedded behind the display it

is not prone to damage.
How it works

The sensor

Each antenna coil is energized in turn. This generates a close coupled field in the h-domain at a

very low energy level (< -25dbuA) and resonant frequency.
The pen

This energy couples with a tank circuit which is located in the pen. The pen is battery-less. It ls
the simplest type of EMR pen, and contains just an inductor & capacitor in its simplest

embodiment. The inductance and capacitance values of the tank circuit are selected to match
the resonant frequency of the antenna coll.
Getting the position

Transmit

The coupled energy resonates with the tank circuit and reflects back towards the sensor board
by forming a shaped h-domain field at the tip of the pen.

As this happens the same antenna coil is switched to receive this reflected energy and provide
an analogue signal. This process is repeated in rapid succession with all antenna coils.

All of this analogue data is then collected and converted into digital signals that can be postprocessed to give x, y and z position informätion,

The pen has to be a maximum of 14mm from the sensor surface for it to be acquired. The
sensor can track the pen in 3 dimensions as it hovers above it. The sensor only detects a "pen
down" signal when pressure is applied to the pen tip.
Additional data

Pressure
Depending on the technology in the pen we can also provide varying levels of pressure up to
1024. There are two main systems we employ. One uses a change in the phase angle part of
the Inductance at the pen tip. The other uses the same philosophy but on the capacitance part.

The MP-200-00 or "Slim Pen" above, uses inductive change and gives up to 256 levels of
pressure. By using this method the pen diameter can be as thin as 5 mm.

The UP-813E uses capacitive change by virtue of another proprietary WACOM component, the
"C-Switch". This allows up to 1024 levels of pressure.

Other functions
Also by having a switch In the pen to alter slightly the resonance frequency, you can detect

additlonal tools such as a side-switch or eraser.

Another unique feature of our EMR technology is the ability to detect pen tilt up to 50 degrees
in any direction.

Wher does the data go?

Once the raw data is gathered from the sensor board by our custom W8001 ASIC, it is relayed
to a standard 8-bit MCU which calculates x, y, 2, pressure, and tilt data.

We also perform error correction calculations to counteract distortions in the electromagnetic
field caused by external influences,

This data can then be read by the pen driver resident in the host OS.

FingerWorks - The Only Touchpads with Ergonomic Full-Hand Resting and

taxation!

'age 1 of I

Resting
IN GENERAL:Assume a relaxed posture for your hands and body while using MultiTouch.
Try to keep your hand fairly flat relative to the surface as you execute mouse and gesture

commands. With the large MultiTouch devices you can rest your whole hand on the surface

while executing mouse, gesture, or typing.

USING GESTURES: All gestures should start from a relaxed posture. If your fingers are
tightly bunched up you are not relaxing. Remember to flatten your hand on the surface.
MOUSE POINTING: While mouse pointing get in the habit of dropping all five fingers after
you start to point. This way your whole hand is supported. Also try to flatten your hand a bit
so it lays nearly flat on the surface. Use a hand posture that you find most relaxing.
HAND RESTING: Rest your hands frequently by dropping ALL FIVE fingers somewhat

SIMULTANEOUSLY anywhere on the surface. Keep your fingers in a natural posture. Palms
are ignored by MultiTouch so they can rest anywhere on the surface

- Tips for Typing on the Mini

Tips For Typing
HEALTH WARNING: If you experience symptoms such as persistent or recurring
discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensations or stiffness
in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body when using a
computer, DO NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNSI PROMPTLY CONSULT
YOUR DOCTOR OR PHYSICAL THERAPIST. Ask them for guidance BEFORE trying
any new input devices! Remember that pain is likely to increase during the first few
days of trying a new device because your body tends to tense up as it is learning new
motions and postures. You may also be more susceptible to further injury during this

learning period. For this reason, your doctor will probably tell you to restrict use of new

devices to short periods of a few minutes a day for the first few days or weeks while
your body adjusts!

m General Typing:
Tap each key's symbol lightly but crisply with one finger at a time. Do NOT
bang on the keys. Try using the minimum force possible.

e Hand Resting:
To rest a hand without activating keys, drop ALL FlVE fingers
SIMULTANEOUSLY anywhere on the surface.
e Hunt & Peck Typing:
Tap each key's symbol lightly but crisply with one finger at a time, taking care
not to accidentally tap unintended keys. (It may be easiest to float your hands
above the surface while typing, but rest them during pauses),
o Typematic:
To activate 'typematic' or auto-repeat, lift all fingers of a hand off the surface,

then touch and hold one finger on the desired symbol. Once that key starts
repeating, you can drop the other fingers back onto the surface. To stop
typematic, lift any finger off the surface.
m Modifier Chords (Shifting):
Reaching for the Shift keys can be even more awkward on a touch surface
than on a normal keyboard. Therefore we invented a much more
comfortable, zero-reach alternative called Modifier Chords that you'll
probably want to learn:
a When ready to capitalize a letter, just drop and hold 4 fingertips from
one hand (excluding the thumb). This is the Shlft chord.

m Type the letter to be capitalized with the oppe .a hand.
a OR:
o Lift one of the 4 fingertips from the Shift chord and use it to tap the
letter (while the others stay on surface).
o Lift all 4 of the fingertips off home row. This turns off Shift.
The timing is really the same as a regular Shift keys. You're just holding 4
fingertips down instead of reaching with your pinky. Modifier chords are also
just as flexible as modifier keys:
m Spreading the 4 fingertips wide as you drop them on the surface
activates the Ctrl chord, which works similarly. On Macs this will be the
Open Apple/Cmd modifier.

m To type whole words uppercase with a single Shift chord, just make
sure at least 1 of the 4 fingertips remains on the surface as you type
desired letters. (Lift one or two of the 4 fingertips at a time to reach for
keys, and leave them down as they drop on target keys).
m Shift-click can be done with modifier chords by holding the Shift chord
with one hand and tapping 2 fingertips with the other hand.
o OR: Shift-click within one hand by dropping 4 fingertips, then
lifting and tapping 2 of the 4 simultaneously.
o Be careful not to roll the 4 fingertips as the Shift chord begins or you
will get scrolling instead,
m When you want to rest a hand, make sure to drop all 5 fingers
simultaneously. Resting just 4 fingers may be interpreted as a Shift
chord.
m Regular modifier keys are still needed for multi-modifier hotkeys like
Ctrl-Alt-Delete. Make sure the fingers come down on the Ctri and Alt
keys one at a time--if they strike simultaneously they could be

misinterpreted as a two-finger click.

Relax and rest frequently.
