Software:TouchToolkit

From HandWiki

TouchToolkit is a software development kit to simplify the complexities of multi-touch application development and testing. The framework currently supports WPF 4.0 and Silverlight 4.0. The key features of TouchToolkit are:

  • A domain-specific language to define new gestures including multi-user, multi-touch scenarios.
  • A device independent architecture that allows the application to run on different devices without any change in application code.
  • A test framework that allows to write unit tests to validate touch interactions and gesture definitions.
  • A record/playback tool for simulating multi-user scenarios as well as testing & debugging applications

TouchToolkit is a free and open source software under GNU Library General Public License (LGPL).

Underlying Technology

The core framework is written in C# for Microsoft .NET 4.0 and Silverlight 4.0. The toolkit uses MGrammar to parse the gesture definition language (GDL). More technical details can be found here
