Some notes on multi-touch and Windows
Posted by jpluimers on 2012/10/06
While fooling around with Microsoft Surface, you are astonished with the number of fingers it supports: 10 is no problem on the Samsung SUR40 which can also do full HD resolution (more specs here).
Not so with the standard Windows 7 touch support: that has only 2.
As I want to increase that to better mimic the development environment to the actual environment a few notes:
- How Many Touch Points Does Windows 7 Multi-Touch Support? – Stack Overflow.
- 3M Touch Systems – 3M™ Display M2256PW. (20 touch points, but a tad expensive, and no HD resolution)
- Multi-Touch Vista.
- Why Windows 7 will never be a touch-friendly OS | Enterprise | Real World Computing | PC Pro.
- Touch hardware and Windows 8 – Building Windows 8 – Site Home – MSDN Blogs.
- DailyTech – All Windows 8 PCs Will Have 5-Fingered Touch.
