Browsers can be configured to act differently to touch depending on the desired interaction with the displayed content.
You may wish to scroll the display area just as you do on a smart phone or device, such as iOS/Android devices, using one finger drag.
You may wish to draw in a drawing application such as in MacOS.
If you are using a multi-touch application, that supports multi-touch under browsers when used in Windows, iOS, Android, you may want to utilise our TUIO bridge software that posts multi-touch data into the browser in such a manner as to satisfy multi-touch enabled applications when run within MacOS
To cater for the above UPDD Commander holds three different browsers definitions:
| Emulation |
Description |
| iOS |
Emulate iOS (iPhone/iPad) browser function - singe touch can be used to scroll browser content
|
| MacOS |
Interact in the same manner as a standard trackpad - single touch performs click and drag
|
| TUIO |
Receive touch via TUIO to satisfy multi-touch browser applications as described here.
|
Each of these Presets defines a Browser application group that specifies all mainstream browsers:
However, if so desired you could split them out into their individual applications and set the individual browsers to perform as required.
In this example Chrome has been installed, removed from the Browser (iOS) group and added to the Application list and set to operate like MacOS trackpad where single touch performs 'click and drag'
This would allow you to use different browsers to operate differently.
