Hey guys, my name’s Jim and I’m new to this community.  (waves hello)

I was wondering your opinions on DIY displays vs just buying a Dell Latitude.  Right now I swing more heavily towards the Dell but was wondering if anyone knew of any incompatibilities with touchlib.

Thanks!

pretty sure we went through this awhile ago. and ermm i think they use some proprietary system. if the stuff from the latitude is transmitted as OSC data then it would work in the applications because touchlib is just a program that translates touches to osc/xml data

Shucks, thanks.  I did a search for dell latitude in the forums and couldnt come up with much.

I think what Fuz3 is referring to is this thread:

I, indirectly, ask the same question. I too am confused on the best approach to start creating multi-touch applications that can work for either IR light based or the emerging capacitive touchscreen market.  As Xelepond suggests in the thread that if we abstract everything into TUIO, then we can solve the issue cleanly. Lux may already take this into account.

You can’t await that device “speaks” TUIO. ALL devices are speaking using propreatery protocolls. Drivers transform this into OS standard API.
