Multigesture.net

The same game I have showed here but this time played on the multi-touch table.

p.s. Sorry for the ending it wasn’t me!

Last year I demonstrated how Windows XP could be (ab)used with multi-touch interaction.

A few weeks ago I made some adjustments to make it compatible with the latest touchlib and this is the result:

tDesk v2 allows the user to move and resize multiple windows at the same time by using multi-touch gestures. Because Windows XP/Vista was not designed for multi-touch there are some issues with this type of input. In multi-touch mode it is not possible to do a mouse click, therefor I added an option to switch between multi-touch and mouse simulation mode.

Please keep in mind that when the mouse simulation mode is activated only single touch input is allowed. Do not use this software on unstable multi-touch systems.

Finally, use this software at own risk .

Install instructions are in: readme.txt !

Any tips or problems can be posted in the comment section.

* update *
In some cases tDesk does not seem to work properly with touchlib. Try downloading rev393 and overwrite your current touchlib dll files.

Touchlib

A few weeks ago I was busy tweaking the Touchlib sourcecode and noticed a bug/feature in the code which caused the image processing pipeline to stall for 32 milliseconds. This might not sound like a big issue however on our system it caused the system to be less responsive.

I have compiled a version without this ’sleep’ function. This version might not be safe for single core cpu’s (I could not test it out myself, hopefully someone could check it out). Because the sleep function is removed, the videoplayback (using cvcapture + *.avi)  is not working properly.

Check out this version of touchlib and report any problems in the comment section !
