New York, New York, November 8, 2006

The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) today announced Novint Technologies (NVNT) as an International CES Innovations 2007 Design and Engineering Awards Honoree for their 3D touch controller, the Novint Falcon, at the CES New York Press Preview. Products entered in this prestigious program are judged by a preeminent panel of independent industrial designers, engineers and members of the trade press to honor outstanding design and engineering in cutting edge consumer electronics.

The Novint Falcon is the first controller to make high-fidelity interactive 3D touch possible and practical for consumer computing. Debuting in 2007 in the video game market, the ground-breaking haptic device, which is essentially a small robot, lets users feel weight, shape, texture, dimension, 3D motion, and force effects when playing enabled games. The Falcon was a standout at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), winning the IGN Best of E3: Gear Award, in a category that included the Nintendo Wii remote and two Sony PlayStation controllers.

"It is extremely gratifying that the Novint Falcon continues to be recognized for its design and innovation, especially by a prestigious organization like the Consumer Electronics Association," said Novint's CEO, Tom Anderson. "Designing a high-fidelity 3D touch controller that is affordable was a challenging undertaking and our internal development team and our partners, Lunar Design and Force Dimension, have done an exceptional job. We look forward to demonstrating the power and value of our technology for the gaming industry when we preview our first Falcon games at the CES show."

The Novint Falcon will be highlighted at the 2007 International CES, which runs January 8-11, 2007 in Las Vegas, Nevada, at Innovations Plus at the Sands, which showcases the hottest technologies in the consumer electronics industry. It will also be featured at Novint's booth 72924 in the new CES Gaming TechZone in the Sands Expo.

As a widely renowned consumer technology awards program that began in 1989, the CES Innovations Awards recognize the best designed and engineered products. It is sponsored by CEA, the producer of the International CES, the world's largest consumer technology tradeshow, and endorsed by the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA), the voice of industrial design, committed to advancing the profession through education, information, community and advocacy.
