Support of multitouch on PC

[timur.omelchak]

Is there any possibilities to use multitouch technology in Unigine?

You can implement this extension via Unigine API.

We are support multi-touch input only on tablet devices.

Hi all,

We are creating a prototype to have Unigine working with a multitouch device (Zytronic ZXY200). This device supports standard messaging with OS (Windows and Linux) so the idea is to have an API equal to engine.tablet:

• engine.tablet.getMouseCounter()
  
• engine.tablet.getMouseX(int index)
  
• engine.tablet.getMouseY(int index)
  

All these values will be set at Update stage (before Unigine update stage)

 

The question is what is the best way to implement this?:

• App class descendant
  
• Plugin
  
• Other ideas are welcomed
  

 

Thanks in advance,

Iván.

Done for Windows 8.1 (in the future Windows 7 and Linux). It supports 10 touch points simultaneously.

 

At the end I used Plugin approach, just hooking the right messages at Plugin::init().

 

The interface defined for UnigineScripts is:

• ae3d.touch.getTouchCounter()
• ae3d.touch.getTouch(int idx): ivec3 (pos_x, pos_y, touch_id)
