multi-touch

Here is something for developers, Adel Al Zubeir have recently released a SDK which promises to bring MultiTouch ( detects up to 2 touches ) to Resistive screen. I am no developer and have no idea how this works but if you are a developer and want to add multitouch gestures to your windows mobile apps then this might be worth a look. This SDK allows developers to build Dual-Touch enabled applications.

Features:
* Pinch to Zoom Support
* Drag (swipe) support.
* Replacement events for the mouse move fires only when a single finger detected.
* Multiple events based on gestures.
* Performance optimized, memory footprint is minimal.

To use this SDK you will need Visual Studio Professional or better. start a new Smart Device Project, and add the SDK to your references.

The SDK is consists of only one object, which is DualTouchSDK. We will need one instance of this class for every control that supports pinch to zoom or drag in your application.

Zooomer – multitouch for all apps on HTC HD2

. Saijo — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 11:07:48 +0000

Zooomer enables “pinch to zoom” in the programs you want. The software scans all .exe on the device. Just select the app you want to bee zoom enabled and perform a softreset – here you go: the exe is enabled for pinch to zoom! Currently only user installed (and some few built in) applications can be “zooom-enabled”.

Thanks for the tip Alex
