Q: touch events?

[garyfeng]

This just came to my mind -- we may need to do eye-tracking on Surface Pro 2s, which will be touch-driven. How does ioHub handle multi-touch events? If they are handled natively, do we need to "enable" them? Or if they are not in ioHub, how hard do you think it will be to add the support?

Alternatively, I can try to capture multitouch events on the browser side and send messages to Confero. That puts some pressure on getting the bookmarklet/extension done.

HI Gary,

No multitouch support anywhere; this would be a mid sized project.

If you can get them through the browser, then as you said, you can send a
message about them from js to iohub.

Thanks,

Sol

K. this is good to know. I will need to work on this, then.

out of curiosity -- There is a touch table in the HDF5 database ... was it just a placeholder?

That is for the Elo line of touch screens, which iohub does support (via
the serial interface). It is not multitouch though, just touch press,
release, and move.
