\section{The TUIO event driver}
\label{sec:tuio}
The TUIO protocol \cite{TUIO} defines a way to geometrically describe tangible
objects, such as fingers or objects on a multi-touch table. Object information
is sent to the TUIO UDP port (3333 by default). For efficiency reasons, the
TUIO protocol is encoded using the Open Sound Control \cite[OSC]{OSC} format.
An OSC server/client implementation is available for Python: pyOSC
\cite{pyOSC}.
A Python implementation of the TUIO protocol also exists: pyTUIO \cite{pyTUIO}.
However, a bug causes the execution of an example script to yield an error in
Python's built-in \texttt{socket} library. Therefore, the TUIO event driver
receives TUIO messages at a lower level, using the pyOSC package to receive
TUIO messages.
The two most important message types of the protocol are ALIVE and SET
messages. An ALIVE message contains the list of ``session'' id's that are
currently ``active'', which in the case of multi-touch a table means that they
are touching the touch surface. A SET message provides geometric information of
a session, such as position, velocity and acceleration. Each session represents
an object touching the touch surface. The only type of objects on the
multi-touch table are what the TUIO protocol calls ``2DCur'', which is a (x, y)
position on the touch surface.
ALIVE messages can be used to determine when an object touches and releases the
screen. E.g. if a session id was in the previous message but not in the
current, the object it represents has been lifted from the screen. SET messages
provide information about movement. In the case of simple (x, y) positions,
only the movement vector of the position itself can be calculated. For more
complex objects such as fiducials, arguments like rotational position and
acceleration are also included. ALIVE and SET messages are combined to create
\emph{point\_down}, \emph{point\_move} and \emph{point\_up} events by the TUIO
event driver.
TUIO coordinates range from $0.0$ to $1.0$, with $(0.0, 0.0)$ being the left
top corner of the touch surface and $(1.0, 1.0)$ the right bottom corner. The
TUIO event driver scales these to pixel coordinates so that event area
implementations can use pixel coordinates to determine whether an event is
located within them. This transformation is also mentioned by the online
TUIO specification \cite{TUIO_specification}:
\begin{quote}
In order to compute the X and Y coordinates for the 2D profiles a TUIO
tracker implementation needs to divide these values by the actual sensor
dimension, while a TUIO client implementation consequently can scale these
values back to the actual screen dimension.
