Multi-touch on Windows 7 in Unity 3.5
Input.touches is always empty when running when running Unity on my Dell ST2220T running Windows 7 and Unity 3.5.
I try setting Input.multiTouchEnabled to true however when I then read the value it's still false
Windows is definitely picking up multiple touches in other applications
I have looked through documentation and as of Unity 3.4 this is supposed to be supported
now, i'm using unity 4, has this same issue been solved?
Grepping the source code of Unity 3.4.1 indicates that Windows 7's multi-touch/gesture support is not currently used. The touchscreen support mentioned is a bit misleading - it appears to be single input mouse emulated only.
Unity 3.5 appears to handle device hotswapping, but does not appear to add any Windows 7 Touch API support.
Thanks JasonStern. The answer here is that the docs are misleading. I will raise this with Unity themselves and see if we can get it in a release soon.
If you are still interested in multitouch in Windows 7, we have released a native solution, which does not requires TUIO or any other external program. http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/152685-RELEASED-Windows-7-multitouch
Windows 7 does not support multitouch. You could use an IOS, or Android to use the feature.
Windows 7 supports mul$$anonymous$$ch !!! but unity3d doesn't support win touch !
Incorrect, Windows 7 does support multi-touch - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ee336016.aspx
Windows 7 (at least i have a machine that has Windows 7 that) does support multitouch. However, most traditional PCs (at this time) do not support multitouch. You may want to go with iOS, Android, or Windows Phone, or wait until Windows 8 comes out.
OEMs will be getting Windows 8 later this year so we will probably see an omega version early next year. You can get a beta version of Windows 8 at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/consumer-preview.
$$anonymous$$y PC does support multi-touch (through the Dell ST2220T monitor) and it works in other applications. The issue is whether Unity 3.5 supports multi-touch in Windows 7. From the 3.4 change list - "Win7 touchscreen input now fully supported." - http://unity3d.com/unity/whats-new/unity-3.4 I take "fully supported" to include multi-touch.
uniTUIO will get you what you need until Unity adds much needed built-in support. You will need to register to gain access to the uniTUIO side to download it but it should be open for development use. It was a little bit of a pain to get going with but we were able to build an awesome game for a giant 12 point touch screen with it.
is uniTUIO available for windows 7 or Windows 8? has anyone tried it?
