events.
% Afbakening
% TODO: moet dit omlaag naar 'Definition of the problem'?
The scope of this thesis includes the design of an multi-touch triggering
mechanism, a reference implementation of this design, and its integration into
a VTK interactor. To be successful, the design should allow for extensions to
be added to any implementation. The reference implementation is a Proof of
Concept that translates TUIO events to some simple touch gestures that are used
by a VTK interactor.
\section{Definition of the problem}
% Hoofdvraag
The goal of this thesis is to create a multi-touch event triggering mechanism
for use in a VTK interactor. The design of the mechanism must be universal.
% Deelvragen
To design such a mechanism properly, the following questions are relevant:
\begin{itemize}
\item What is the input of the mechanism? Different touch drivers have
different API's. To be able to support different drivers (which is
highly desirable), there should probably be a translation from the
driver API to a fixed input format.
\item How can extendability be accomplished? The set of supported events
should not be limited to a single implementation, but an application
should be able to define its own custom events.
\item Can events be shared with multiple processes at the same time? For
example, a network implementation could run as a service instead of
within a single application, triggering events in any application that
needs them.
\item Is performance an issue? For example, an event loop with rotation
detection could swallow up more processing resources than desired.
\end{itemize}
