Multi-touch library for Processing - Simple Multi-Touch (SMT) Toolkit

in Library and Tool Development • 2 months ago

A lab at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology and a lab at the University of Waterloo have been collaborating on a multi-touch library for Processing.

It is called the Simple Multi-Touch (SMT) Toolkit and has been in active development since the summer of 2011.

Its aim is to simplify multi-touch development. It is great for prototypes and research projects, but can also be used for more intense development.

Our toolkit supports Windows, Mac and Linux.

On the Processing website and in its IDE, it is under the category I/O.

The source code is on GitHub https://github.com/vialab/SMT

Check out the site. It has examples and reference.

I've been waiting for a library that lets me use the touchscreen of my laptop to the fullest, thanks! Already tried it a few months ago, but back then this didn't work for me at all.

Just tried it out again. It seemed to crash at first but after restarting Processing everything seems to work fine now (I guess it needs to restart the Java VM to finish the installation?)

Hi jobleonard,

I am glad that you are using it. I do not know why it crashed, probably a Processing issue. My colleagues and I have not had this problem.

If you ever find any bugs or want to suggest improvements, you can post issues on GitHub https://github.com/vialab/SMT

Thanks,

Erik
