Hi Martin,

Only if the Apple supplied driver for the trackpad had full multitouch features in it, which I believe it does not. Although that could change.

I really just want to be able to have a USB trackpad to plug in to my regular machine to test it, but that does not seem to exist currently.

hi michael!

yes, the multivista-tuio-workflow has a certain DIY-feel to it, but especially the apps for android and ios are quite usable to imitate multi-touch..i'm using this mainly to capture/use motion data via microsofts kinect

..and, no sorry, i don't have a MIMO, i have a rather sturdy 3M-development thingy...i guess, that only the capacitive displays(magic touch) are actually multi-touch but you can use them either way..display only/ touch only/ display&touch..i stumbled over them some time ago during a research for an interactive media piece, as they were USB-only..but the whole project went in another direction, so no hands-on experience

all the best,
marco

Is this the kind of thing you're looking for, Michael?

That's actually the one that I got already because I thought it would match what I need.

But at least their Windows 7 driver does not generate actual Multitouch events (WM_TOUCH events) for an actual touch-aware application to make use of, it only sends things like scroll wheel messages to applications, it's more based on trying to control non-touch-aware applications instead.

So it ended up being useless for me for testing multi-touch with.


Right now the support for multi-touch on Windows appears to be pretty spotty.

Michael,

I would be willing to lend my Samsung Ativ 700T with 10 Point Multitouch screen to you for testing and development if you are interested.. The device also has a Wacom penabled screen. I live in Tacoma so its not to much to meet you somewhere to get this in your hands.. I would really love to see multitouch in Moi for Windows. Seems developers are being slow to adapt even while most new computers are sporting the touch tech.

Let me know if your interested.

Thanks,

Isaiah Coberly

Hi Isaiah, thanks yes that would be great, that would allow me to develop it without needing to purchase a whole monitor or completely new machine which I would then need to store somewhere.

Can you please contact me at moi@moi3d.com so we can work out the details?


> Seems developers are being slow to adapt even while most new computers are sporting the touch tech.

Probably partly because of this same issue that I've run into where there aren't any small USB devices that allow easy testing of it on a "build it yourself" type of machine.

Wow ... now that's what i call devotion to the cause .... God bless you Isaiah for contributing something to help develop MoI
