Hello list, just wanted to say a quick hello to everyone here. My name is Florian Echtler, and I've done quite some multitouch development during my PhD thesis, particularly with respect to gesture recognition.
I've briefly exchanged emails with Chase Douglas some weeks ago, and we agreeed that there's a lot of similarity between our concepts. As they were developed completely independent, it's probably not the worst direction to take :-) (If you want to have a look yourself at what I did, I'd be delighted if you to hear your opinion about chapter 3 of my thesis at http://mediatum2.ub.tum.de/node?id=796958 ). Implementation-wise, I've developed libTISCH - see http://tisch.sf.net/ and https://edge.launchpad.net/~floe/+archive/libtisch - which does some things very similar to utouch, although tries to be OS-independent. (In retrospect, all the effort to get it to run across Linux/Mac/Win was probably a waste of time :-/ ). Right now, I've put further work on libTISCH on hold for a while and am experimenting with the newly introduced Firefox multitouch support which, I think, is also quite promising as a development platform. So right at the end, here's one question after all: I'm considering to build a quick hack for Firefox to support multitouch in Ubuntu. This is pretty straightforward using XI2, however, what I didn't quite get is whether XI2 will currently deliver _multi-pointer_ events for _multi-touch_ input. What would be the preferred way here? Many thanks for reading so far, Yours, Florian -- 0666 - Filemode of the Beast _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~multi-touch-dev Post to : multi-touch-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~multi-touch-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
