looking into this too , more of a hardware angle . anyone try one of the touch screen kits or anyother I saw the Cyclo Touch looks pretty nice but all overseas companies

Depends on the hardware. If it's just a windows machine with a touch interface, the screen works the same as a mouse click.

we just finished an interactive kiosk project for a client. the monitor, a panasonic tv (if i remember correctly), we used was a touchscreen device and used an apple mini that runs os x to run the application. we had to install a driver that detects the monitor as a pointing dvice. we build the application using flash.
- Sounds interesting. What drivers did you use?HomeCreative
- i don't remember the exact name, but i remember having to search for it online since the osx version was not available in the cd that came with the tv.dijitaq

Flash?

The ones we've designed have been Flash. Works perfectly well, just as a website wood. You need to make certain changes, like hiding the mouse icon, etc., but overall it is the same (you can easily coordinate the touchscreen with a website, too).
They run off a PC inside of the Kiosk.
- We haven't needed any software, just a Flash player (on the PC). Button, video, etc., all work as normalformed

Gestureworks

http://www.mathieuchamagne.com/t… Max Multitouch Framework (less off the shelf, but easy to make multitouch apps with)
I've used Gestureworks and the Max Multitouch Framework. Gestureworks is pretty nice.

Excellent. I'll have a look at those!

Ahhh. The software doesn't need to be multitouch.
More of a simple job where we can design screens, then map button areas which when pressed link to certain actions like next, back, print!.

Oh, so there's no real need for multitouch at all? You're just trying to make buttons for a touch device? Just use regular Flash with transparent buttons over the top of your design screens?

Ahh so its as simple as that? Does the machine not need any special software to map the touch screens or can this be done in flash?
