Multi-Touch on Windows (SMT and other solutions)

edited December 2013 in Library Questions

Hello,

i try to implement a multitouch app on a windows 8 computer with processing and java. I played around with the Simple Multi-Touch Toolkit (SMT) which seems like a good library. Unfortunately i don't get the windows touch backend working. It crashes already at the init method: SMT.init(this, TouchSource.WM_TOUCH);
It says "TuioClient: failed to connect to port 3333" followed by a NullPointerException
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
at vialab.SMT.SMT.runWinTouchTuioServer(SMT.java:1236)

Has anybody worked with SMT on Windows 8 before or can anyone imagine what i missed to get it working?

Otherwise does anyone know another way to implement multiouch with processing? I actually don't really need fancy libraries, i would be happy with a solution that just gives me coordinates of multiple touch points.

Thanks for your help!
