Instinct™ technology. Intuitively functional.
Grayhill Instinct is a set of multi-touch gesture recognition software
tools that, when integrated with Grayhill physical components,
creates more intuitive human interface solutions.
The Multi-Touch Ring Encoder combines a touchpad with multi-touch
tracking, an optical encoder and pushbutton into one easy-to-use
device. By combining gesture recognition technology with a ring
encoder, we provide the ultimate in input flexibility. Menu search,
selection, navigation and much more are all in one user interface
that can be easily integrated into future devices.
A shorter distance from mind to machine.
An intuitive, easy to use interface improves operator
productivity. Our Instinct technology enables an operator’s
thoughts to be seamlessly communicated to the device. This
allows faster interaction without needing to take eyes off of the
screen. For the operator it makes controlling a machine easier
to manage. And unlike touch screens, the display is left clean
and unblocked. Plus, ergonomics are improved by consolidating
all controls within easy reach.
Design uncluttered,
easy-to-clean
instruments using
Grayhill's Multi-Touch
Ring Encoder.
Let your fingers do the directing.
Finger gestures are a popular means of controlling contemporary electronic devices. Instinctive,
memorable movements provide a variety of commands…all without the fingers leaving the
touchpad. Grayhill’s Instinct technology tracks up to five finger touches at a time. The Multi-Touch
Ring Encoder combines the multi-touch touchpad with an optical encoder and a push button to
offer even more functionality. Several gestures are shown below.
Move Cursor
Zoom
Rotate
Momentum Scroll

3d Gesture
An elegant engineering solution for
controlling electronic equipment.
Simplicity in use and device design. The Multi-Touch Encoder can
replace keypads, knobs, trackballs and switches. This makes for clean
design and cuts costs of manufacturing. Combined with the Instinct
gesture recognition library, the multi-touch encoder increases the
engineer’s flexibility in building functionality into any product.
