Hello,

If there is a technology that will dramatically change the user interface,
we believe it is Sensiva's technology.  Sensiva will tremendously improve
people's experience when using pointing devices such as a mouse, touchpad
and graphic tablet.

Just drawing a symbol enables a user to get instant search results and
access to email, trading accounts and more websites without having to type
or remember passwords.  This is a part of the key features of three new
products that Sensiva, Inc. has released today.

Please find attached our press release. You can also view a Web version,

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Sensiva Launches New Symbol Recognition Technology


Sensiva, Inc. releases a powerful new line of products based on
 its award-winning technology


Palo Alto, California, June 20, 2001 - Today Sensiva, Inc. has introduced
three powerful new products - "Sensiva Pro", "Sensiva Navigator", "Sensiva
Commander" that provide users with total control across different software
applications.  The new products have a totally new interface and
unprecedented features that allow people to universally and dramatically use
software and Internet applications by just drawing symbols.

The new line of Sensiva products provide users with a consistent interface
that significantly improves the user experience and enhances the speed and
pleasure of Web navigation and use of all software applications.  One of the
key features enables users to access their emails, trading accounts and
other websites without having to type or remember individual passwords.
Most people using web-based emails take time to access and get their emails
manually, several times a day.  With Sensiva, drawing a symbol lets users
skip all steps of login because Sensiva stores all users sign-in names and
passwords of different websites in one place. For example, users simply draw
an "e" on the screen to get their emails almost instantly.  The new feature
also offers users a powerful enhancement for search engine.  With Sensiva,
users get results of searching the Internet by just drawing a symbol.  For
example, just highlighting the word "San Francisco" and drawing a "b" will
allow you to go to the right page at your favorite book website to find a
book about the city.  Each product has different features to meet different
user needs.  "Sensiva Pro" is integrated with all the features in one
package.  "Sensiva Navigator" is aimed at providing the new benefits
focusing on Web Navigation such as instant search results and instant access
to secure websites and emails, without having to enter passwords.  "Sensiva
Commander" is focused on unifying inconsistent applications, such as
executing commands, launching applications and writing signatures by just
drawing symbols.  No matter what application users are in, they can use the
same symbols to execute the same actions, such as a "Z" for zoom in all
graphic programs.

"The brand new software will play a vital role in the user interface world."
David Dupouy, Sensiva, Inc.'s chief executive officer said.  "Sensiva is
committed and focused on improving the user experience"

Sensiva's technology is already part of products of world leading companies
including Casio, a
world leader in consumer electronics; Wacom, market leader in development
and manufacture of graphic tablets; Synaptics, leader in development and
manufacture of touchpads for notebook computers; and Kanitech International
A/S in Denmark,  the developer of a cordless pen that works in place of a
mouse.

The software will give users access to all of Sensiva's services on our
website, including purchasing of the software, downloading a free trial
version, customer support and more.  A Japanese version will be available in
July.  Additional languages will be available in the near future to extend
our customer relationships internationally.
