My first application multitouch !

[Silver-Virus]

Hello everybody !
Here I made my first multitouch application which is simple to prove that it is possible!! I will not hide behind that there is a lot of work !!!!!!!!!!

If you want to see how it works go to the forum HTC-Touch-Diamond Developpement (http://htc-touch-diamond.forumactif.info/developpement-f28/il-est-possible-de-faire-une-appli-multitouch-t11100.htm)

Multitouch Prototype (Compact Framework 3.5) (http://dl.free.fr/tFRWlquE5)

Thank you! Tell me what you think! ;)

What exactly does this do?

Screenshots/video?

[Herbalisation]

its just a prototype. run the exe on your phone, it shows 2 green buttons and they can be "multitouched".

But I thought that was impossible on resistive screens?

And it is :)
Is unsing the capacitive one, the keys zone

mmm no, it uses the actual screen.

From the link, it looks like it uses the fact that when multitouched, resistive touchscreens (from what I've seen) return the "average" position of the multiple touches. It works, but only with specific UIs. Another method would be to virtualise the second touch - for example, when you want to zoom in on a picture, start with one finger in the centre and move out, with a zoom in occuring as if there is a second finger moving in the exact opposite direction from the centre. Combined, these methods do eliminate the need for capacitive touch sensitivity pretty well, but they're still not quite as good as the real thing...

Anyway, nice work. :)
Now I can prove to ignorant friends that my phone has multi-touch...

I hope you can create an application that has multitouch or may possibly set multitouch for the whole system.....

Impressive work, I didnt know that there was a way around to have multi touch on Diamond, hope to see this employed in a software e.g. use both fingers to zoom in pictures
thank you:)

By running this app on desktop Win Vista and on phone, I know how it works now ^^

when you touch 2 points on your phone, the phone will treat it as touching one point, and the point is the mid-point of the 2 points.

Steps:
Drag one of the green button to the middle of the two buttons, and they both become red ^^(either run this app on Windows or on Phone)


though, nice app, and sorry for my poor English
