Tactile interface...

[oxyredox]

Hi evreyone,

I recently experienced using my iPhone as a OSC controller in Usine and it was great BUT there are many counterparts. Among others :
1) screen is tiny
2) it falls asleep too often and I have to keep it awake regularly...

So I'm thinking about getting something bigger. My first idea was to get a tablet computer and run an OSC-able application. Then I realised that some could run Windows 8, so I could run Usine on it...
But maybe there are tactile screens that can be put as an extention to my laptop...

Anyway, the idea is to have a tactile screen-like interface

Any good advice my dear fellows ?

if you 're looking for a classic multitouch screen:

packard bell viseo 200t
samsung ld220z

Thanks, the samsung ld220z seems pretty interesting... does it really connect via USB ?
By the way, can Usine manage two screens, for example, the basic screen of my macbook would display several monitoring informations, and the multitouch screen would show multitouch patches. Is this possible ?

Usb connection is need for tactile informations, you also need a classic vga connection
can affirm for macbook system, but i suppose yes, if you have extended choice in the dual screen mode..?

Ok,
I think the appeal of being able to move with a wireless tablet computer running Usine is stronger , considering my project.
But I have to be sure Usine can run under Windows 8.

I've recently test the public win 8 developer preview, all seems ok
