History: TouchscapeSDK

• «
• »

            The Touchscape SDK provides a standard platform for developing Multitouch applications, removing the need for the developer to worry about the standard features of a Multi-Orientated Multitouch environment. As a developer, you can keep the focus of your work on the application you are wanting to produce, without concerning yourself with multiple instances, orientation or scaling among other things.

The SDK is currently only implemented for Windows Operating System, with Windows 7 being the optimal platform.

!!Features
* Powered by Ogre3D graphics SDK.
* Create multi-touch applications seamlessly without having to worry about how the multi-touch is being displayed and which of the touches should be associated with the application.
* Integrate custom multi-touch API's to your applications created using Touchscape's SDK. Integration with TUIO is shown in the sample applications.
* Customisable themes for panels (windows).
* Applications can be compiled into a DLL and be loaded into an application browser.
* Use mouse to emulate touch events (only single-touch enabled now).
* Demo application, which we call Lobby, showing how to load DLL applications.

!!Upcoming Features
* More demos and tutorials on how to use the SDK.
* Custom gesture recognition.
* Physics based interaction between panels.
* Support for native windows applications being rendered into panels.
* Support for rendering flash applications as an application inside the panel.

!!License
Free for non-commercial use and need to contact Touchscape for a commercial-use license. Kindly do not redistribute the SDK. We would rather like to have people download it directly from our website so that we can keep track of the number of users.
