A software that facilitates effective collaboration between humans through tangible interaction surfaces.
The framework was developed in response to the growing need for user interfaces that support multitouch gestures and tangible interactions. Since Jeff Han's demonstration in 2006, there has been significant research in this area, with many building their own hardware and commercial devices appearing on the market. LibTISCH provides a solution for developers looking to create applications for multitouch and tangible-based GUIs.
One of the most notable features of libTISCH is the ready-to-use multitouch widgets available based on OpenGL. Additionally, the framework's hardware-independent gesture recognition engine is customizable and supports commonly used gestures like move, rotate, and scale gestures, as well as custom ones.
The framework also includes drivers for popular hardware like FTIR, DI, Wiimote, and DiamondTouch. LibTISCH offers TUIO converters for both source and sink purposes, allowing the development of TUIO-based multitouch applications. It is programmable in C++ with bindings available for Java, C#, and Python. This cross-platform software offers 32 and 64-bit version support across Linux, MacOS X, and Windows.
Overall, libTISCH is a complete multitouch development framework with numerous features and useful applications. It is well-suited for a wide range of developers and offers the flexibility needed to create a broad range of interesting and engaging applications.
