Today at the 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Microsoft Corp. unveiled the Touch Mouse, a new multitouch device designed for Windows 7 that lets people click, flick, scroll and swipe, making it easy and fun to interact with their PCs. Born from the Mouse 2.0 project conducted by Microsoft Research and the Applied Sciences Group, the Touch Mouse combines the virtues of a mouse with the rich natural language of gesture that lets people interact with Windows 7 in a more intuitive way.
?The new Touch Mouse is a great way for customers to interact naturally with their Windows 7-based PC,? said Mark Relph, senior director of the Windows Developer and Ecosystem Team at Microsoft. ?We worked closely with the Microsoft Hardware team to help develop the multitouch gestures that make Windows 7 easier, simpler and more fun to use. After just a few minutes with this mouse you?ll see why.?
? One finger lets people manage individual documents or pages by flicking to quickly scroll, pan and tilt, and one thumb lets people move back or forward through a Web browser.
? Two fingers manage windows, letting people maximize, minimize, snap and restore them.
? Three fingers let people navigate their whole desktop, showing instant viewer or clearing their desktop.
