Multitouch monitor/overlay support in your browser! In ClojureScript!
cljs-multitouch is an interface to the npTuioClient browser plugin. The plugin supports Firefox, Chrome and Safari (any browser that supports NPAPI plugins).
The plugin expects a TUIO server at the standard port (localhost:3333). Almost all touchscreens have a way of exposing their touch data over this protocol. We normally use screens from PQ Labs which have a TUIO server built into the driver software.
On page load the plugin connects to the TUIO server and routes incoming data to cljs-multitouch, which converts it into standard browser touch events (touchstart, touchmove, touchend).
Step 1.) Install the plugin. Firefox, Chrome and Safari are supported.
Step 2.) Add a tag to your HTML to load the plugin:
<object id="tuio" type="application/x-tuio">Plugin FAILED to load</object>Step 3.) Add cljs-multitouch to your project.clj and then run lein deps.
[cljs-multitouch "1.0"]Step 4.) In your clojurescript app:
(ns my-awesome-touchscreen-app
(:require [cljs-multitouch.core :as multitouch]))
(multitouch/init)That's it! Your app will now receive standard touchdown, touchmove and touchend events.
