6 apps included in the Windows 7 Touch Pack

One of the features that Windows 7 initially showed was the touch function. However, this statement disappeared after the Windows beta and the candidate release were released. However, a message announced by Microsoft on May 27 has re-introduced this feature. A post published by the Microsoft Windows team blog revealed the Windows 7 TouchPack (touch package). This package brings a number of touch-friendly applications, including:

1. Microsoft Surface Globe:

The first of these applications is called Microsoft SurfaceGlobe (Earth's surface). This is a multi-touch function using the virtual earth 3D engine to display a rotating 3D image of the Earth. You can visit places and regions to get information about the area, or use the bookmark function to tag your favorite information. In addition, some cities are even built using 3D technology, providing a very realistic and detailed experience.

2. Microsoft Surface Collage:

The Microsoft SurfaceCollage tool allows you to select many photos and then move and scale according to your preferences. Once you get an arrangement you like, you can choose to store it as an image and then use that image as a desktop wallpaper.

3. Microsoft Surface Lagoon:

Microsoft SurfaceLagoon is a very interesting application. It's actually a screen saver for your computer, and you can use multi-touch technology to communicate with this program. This screen saver shows a submarine landscape with sand, water and fish. By communicating with them, you can gather fish around you and use your fingers to cross the virtual water.

4. Microsoft Blackboard:

Microsoft Blackboard is a fun riddle game that uses simulated physics and multi-touch technology to solve problems. You can use gestures to create seesaws, fans, and devices that can resize and export movements. Everything is assembled together on a virtual blackboard. The goal of this game is to balloon and ball to a light bulb.

5. Microsoft Rebound:

Microsoft Rebound is a game that can be played with friends, similar to air hockey games. The goal of this game is to push a ball with your finger to destroy your opponent's ball.

6.Microsoft Garden Pond:

Microsoft GardenPond is another game, but this game is more relaxed. This game is to guide some origami items safely through a pond or with fingers to complete their intended goals. To move these origami items, you have to interact with the water to create some ripples.

You have to use these applications and obviously need Windows 7 to support multi-touch technology. This package will be provided to the PC vendor, who will choose which application to install (or not all). This means that these applications will be available together when Windows 7 is released.
