The magic of touch in technology is increasing at a steady rate. From the touchscreens on our cellphones, palmtops to the atm machines; we observe that technology is becoming sensitive to the human touch. How much of this is true for the majority of laptops that we use every day!! Even though the Macbooks have multi-touch trackpads, its predefined gestures are limited to zooming, image resizing, navigating etc. And in case of others, except for a few scroll and click functionalities, generally the touchpads don’t support an enhanced sensitivity to our touch. But now I dare say that your favorite applications in the real sense of the word are just-a-touch-away.

The touchpad manufacturer Synaptics has introduced a beta version of their new gesture workflow software- Scrybe. Scrybe will enable the users to draw and instruct the PC to do a search, open an email application, cut/copy/paste, rotate, crop or rate images and much more. These actions are accomplished by activating a drawing mode and then tracing certain patterns on the touchpad. For example, all you need to do for initiating a search query is to highlight the keyword and draw a question mark on your touch pad. And whoa!! the search is activated for the word!

The most interesting feature of this magic is that it is customizable. So you can have your own codes to open an application of your choice. The touchpad has now become an application launcher!!

Also Scrybe is optimized for multi touch compatible touchpads; it will also receive tweaks to be compatible not only with the future laptops but also be backward compatible with Synaptic’s existing single–touch touchpads.
