Touchlib

Touchlib is a library for creating multi-touch interaction surfaces. It handles tracking blobs of infrared light, and sends your programs these multi-touch events, such as ‘finger down’, ‘finger moved’, and ‘finger released’. It includes a configuration app and a few demos to get you started, and will interace with most types of webcams and video capture devices. It currently works under Windows and Linux.

Download

Touchlib compiled binary (svn build)

  • Touchlib compiled libraries, revision 400 (10 -03-2009) – recommended!
  • Unofficial [download#18#size]

Old versions:

  • [download#19#size] compiled libraries, revision 395 (09 nov 2008)
  • [download#1#size] compiled libraries, revision 395 (26 feb 2008)
    • Contains the new barrel distortion correction filter
    • Instructions can be found in the barrel distortion correction tool package
    • Memory leak bug fixed
    • Improved performance (1.5~2.0x faster)
  • [download#2#size] compiled libraries, revision 393 speedfix (21 apr 2008)
    • Removed the Sleep(32) from bool CTouchScreen::process() in file CTouchScreen.cpp line 274
    • Caused the processing loop to stall for 32ms which is in my opinion unneeded. This would result (in some cases) in lower performance.
    • Might not be safe for single core cpu’s
    • This version does not support videoplayback (from avi files), without the sleep function the video plays too quick.
  • [download#3#size] (Osc -> Flash proxy) including TUIO simulator
  • [download#4#size] – stable version without fiducial support
