Graphire数位板——一种新型的电脑输入设备

近年来，随着Windows9X操作系统的不断完善与成熟，随着网络技术和多媒体技术的开发与应用，适用于图形用户界面操作的新一代微型计算机输入设备也在不断的探索与研制中陆续问世。本文所介绍的VACOM Graphire序列数位板就是众多电脑输入设备后起之透中的一个实例。该设备不仅可以代替鼠标器用做手持式坐标定位部位，而且为人们告别低速、低效的键盘汉字输入方法提供了一条很好的思路。它的出现不但对那些非计算机行业的老人，对于各行各业的计算机用户，对于看法见键盘的盲人和不能进行手工输入的残疾人是一种帮助，而且也给正在快速步入计算机化、网络化、多媒体化的现代化医院管理，诊断、治疗和化验等工作提供了一种操作简洁的汉字、数字及图形等信息输入工具。

WACOM Graphire tablet - A new microcomputer input device

Recently, more and more new microcomputer input devices that adapt the operation of graphic user interface applications are developed and produced because of the continuous development and application of network technology, multimedia technology and the successive maturation of Window 9X operation system. The WACOM Graphire serial table introduced in this paper is a new perfect example of lots of microcomputer input devices. It is not only a substitution of mouse as a handy ordination point device but also a nice thinking of a substitution of low speed and low effective Chinese-character input methods using keyboard. It can help users who are non-professional computer people or elders as well as the blind people and the handicapped people who cannot use keyboard. Furthermore, it provides a simple and effective method of Chinese character and number and graphic input for the modern hospital management, diagnosis, treatment and lab test work.
