First Wave Of USI 1.0 Active Stylus Products Hit The Market
Summary
USI 1.0 replaces propriety approaches with a single solution allowing a stylus to be used across a wide range of touch-enabled devices, including phones, tablets, computing and entertainment platforms. For the first time independent hardware vendors (IHVs), original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the software ecosystem can develop a new generation of active styluses that provide consumers a consistent, customizable and interoperable experience across make, model and form-factor. In addition, USI members Lenovo, HP and Dell, Inc., account for over 60 percent of the global PC market. Due to the many benefits of an open standard and the strong support from our membership, we expect USI adoption will continue to grow,” added Mueller. An additional benefit of the USI standard is the ability to deliver a consistent stylus user experience across platforms.
