Microsoft Empowers the Artist in Everyone With 'The Art of Touch'

Microsoft Corp. is encouraging artistic creativity through the launch of an international art project called "The Art of Touch," at http://www.artoftouch.com, inspired by the Microsoft family of Touch mice consisting of the Microsoft Touch Mouse, Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse and Microsoft Explorer Touch Mouse. These three unique mice raise the bar on innovation and customer experience. Visitors to the site can easily create original works of art with a palette of brushes and effects built into the application. Art created with the palette may be submitted, easily shared with their social networks and voted on, allowing the artist with the most votes to be awarded the grand prize of "featured artist" status on the Art of Touch website.
