The G-Track module: the future trackball technology • Swipe and air-wheel actions

Haarlem, 17th of April 2016 – NSI and Mulder-Hardenberg presents a brand new technology developed by Cursor Con- trols and available soon on request. The G-Track module, with integrated gesture recognition, provides all of the benefits of the IP68 waterproof trackball coupled with hand gesture recognition in order to complement the trackball’s functionality and streamline user experience.

The hand gesture recognition feature provides the user with the ability to quickly trigger a superset of hot-keys, shortcuts, and commonly used functions. The dashboard module supports four pre-defined gesture modes (scroll, zoom, arrow keys, and carousel) that can be selected on the fly by double tapping the ball. The gesture func- tion mapping is dependent on the gesture mode that has been selected and supports a wide range of applications with quick access to the most appropriate and frequented operati- ons. Swipe gestures are intended for directional, single-instance or low-repetition functions such as triggering shortcuts or arrow keys, whereas the air-wheel gesture is intended for functions requiring many repetitions in quick succession such as scroll or zoom functions. The G-Track module is a plug-and-play solution without the need for any additional software/drivers. Technical datasheet Main Features The G-Track module has not yet been packaged as a “standard • Trackball dashboard module with integrated gesture re- configuration” device – rather it is intended to demonstrate cognition the unique, latest generation hybrid technology and the ex- • IP68 waterproof citing possibilities, opportunities and solutions that can be • Illuminated touch-sensitive buttons offered when trackballs, touch inputs and gesture control are • 4 pre-defined gesture modes : scroll, zoom, arrow keys, combined into a single, easy to integrate module.
