Dell Latitude XT2 to TUIO
Chi-Tai Dang on April 4, 2011 in Chi-Tai's Work, Mult-Touch - Interactive Surface ComputingThis is about TouchToTUIO, a tool that establishes a TUIO-source for the multi-touch-input from the n-trig panel of the Dell Latitude XT2 laptop.
TouchToTUIO does not require a transparent overloay window, works with windows aero enabled and with fullscreen apps.
This way, you can use any multi-touch app that supports touch-input coming from a TUIO-source.
Example: You can enable multi-touch-input of Dell Latitude XT2 with the Surface SDK as follows:
What you need:
- Surface SDK Workstation Edition SP1 (MSDNAA, surface.com, ..)
- MultitouchVista second release – refresh 2
- CustomSurfaceInput by Daniel D
- HCM TouchToTUIO: TouchToTUIO.zip
Steps:
- Follow the steps given at CKTouch.com to install Surface SDK
- Follow the steps given at nuigroup.com to install MultiTouchVista and CustomSurfaceInput
- Start TouchToTUIO.exe
- Enjoy multi-touch with Surface SDK on the Dell Latitude XT2 đŸ™‚
Concept:
The following sketch roughly depicts where TouchToTUIO is located within the app-chain:
You can of course attach any TUIO-app to the TUIO-output of TouchToTUIO.
Hints:
TouchToTUIO appears as a trayicon only and provides a popup-menu with the following options:
- ReStart: Restart TUIO server
- Contact Type: Send multi-touch input either as TUIOCursor or TUIOObject
- About: Show about window
- Quit: Quit TouchToTUIO
TouchToTUIO was designed only for Windows 7 and the latest n-trig driver on a Dell Latitude XT2. There is a chance that it works with other n-trig-panels.
