New Active Stylus Enables Simultaneous Pen & Touch Directly
          on Screen, Replicating Pen and Paper Experience

NEW YORK, May 10, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Perceptive Pixel, the
leading provider of advanced user interface solutions, announces
general availability of its active stylus, which enables simultaneous
pen and stylus input, an industry first. While other solutions on the
market require inefficient mode switching, the Perceptive Pixel active
stylus delivers an entirely natural on-screen drawing or writing
experience without the need to toggle between input modes.

The active stylus functions like a regular pen, allowing you to sketch,
annotate, design, draw and brainstorm directly on Perceptive Pixel's
high-performance, true multi-touch, projected capacitive (pro-cap)
displays. Use one hand to write or draw and use the other to reposition
the on-screen object, just as you would with pen and paper. The
company's pro-cap displays detect an unlimited number of fingers and up
to four simultaneous stylus inputs. Patented controller technology
perfectly differentiates styluses from fingers while tracking input
from each stylus separately and eliminating false touches. The
Perceptive Pixel active stylus is sold as an accessory to its popular
27- and 82-inch displays.

Features include:


  --  Natural Interaction -- annotate or draw directly on screen with your
      dominant hand while zooming or repositioning on-screen objects with your
      other hand

  --  Palm Rejection -- the display recognizes and intelligently ignores palm
      or forearm touch input so that you can rest your hand comfortably on the
      screen as you write or draw

  --  Identity Recognition -- up to four people can work simultaneously with a
      stylus on the pro-cap displays, each stylus with its own distinct input
      stream, which can be tracked and used by applications

  --  Hover Capability -- the display sensor recognizes styluses as they hover
      up to  1/2 inch above the screen, enabling software to report additional
      information such as latitude/longitude, distance, time/depth, x/y/z
      coordinates and more, prior to engaging the screen

  --  Programmability -- develop unique functionality or innovative
      stylus-enabled, multi-touch applications using the Perceptive Pixel
      API

  --  Precision & Pressure Sensitivity -- a sharp point allows for sub-pixel
      precision and registers pressure to capture the nuance of your stroke as
      you write or draw

  --  Ergonomic Design -- the soft-coated barrel of our active stylus is
      comfortable to hold and features a switch that can emulate familiar
      right-click, left-click mouse input or that can be programmed for any
      function




Bob Pette, COO and interim CEO at Perceptive Pixel says, "Being able to
work so naturally on screen with a stylus is unprecedented. All other
stylus solutions only register a single mode at a time. Our
programmable stylus paired with simultaneous multi-touch input enables
greater levels of performance and productivity across many industries.
It will deliver a transformative experience to everyone from
professional artists in product design to geoscientists searching for
new petrochemical reserves."

HP is a Perceptive Pixel partner and an early evaluator of the active
stylus. Bruce Blaho, chief technologist, Commercial Solutions Business
Unit, HP, and HP Fellow, adds, "While touch is great for sorting and
analyzing information, fingers are not ideal for high-precision work.
The Perceptive Pixel active stylus is perfect for HP workstation
customers in design and creation, and it works seamlessly with touch --
an impressive breakthrough that will enhance the overall user
experience and boost productivity."

The Perceptive Pixel active stylus is a revolutionary new tool that
leverages the latest advances in multi-touch technology to enable
professionals from every industry to recapture the familiar and natural
way they work with pen and paper. To learn more about the active
