Synaptics Gives Spacebar Some New Touches

Touchpad pioneer Synaptics has touched up an unlikely area on a keyboard: the spacebar. The company last week announced the availability of its SmartBar technology, which adds gesture features to the bar. For example, text can be selected by swiping it. A double-thumb gesture can be used to zoom in and out on a document or image. What's more, the bar can be configured into five virtual buttons for executing macros that can be managed with software provided by Synaptics.
