[mitk-users] Touch Screen Support?

[Nathan Lay]

Hello once again,
I'm curious whether MITK can work with touch screen devices? I'm guessing
the OS will translate these touch events to mouse events? Not sure about
X11/Wayland capabilities. I'm guessing X11 has no such capability. Let's
just suppose we're talking about a Windows 10. What then?

Best regards,
Nathan Lay

?Hi Nathan,


we do not have explicit touch support, meaning that we don't have any code for this purpose in the MITK Workbench. The OS translates such events to mouse events though and this should work to some extent. I didn't test press-move-release (i.e. to interact with the render windows), but I can give it a shot tomorrow, as we have a multi-touch-TV in our division.


Best,
Stefan

Hi, tested a little bit and in general it doesn’t work well for the interesting parts like segmentation and other interactions especially when you need to press and hold a key while doing something with the mouse.

Best,
