mira.multitouch not working with macbook trackpad
I have downloaded the mira package and would like to receive data from my mac trackpad.
When pressing it using the mira.multitouch object no info is coming through. It made me wonder if this object is not supported the macbook trackpad, and if not - is there any other object to receive multitouch info from my trackpad (we are in 2024... must have something)
Thanks
Second the motion.
Also please include trackpad with fingertip-auto-sweat-elimination sensors for when on site outdoors in the sweltering heat.
On a side note- Steve Jobs insisted that 10 fingers were the best solution- new iPads getting faster! Wink wink
Mira- “you go to sleep now it’s late”
I did not understand nothing from what you wrote... I do hope there is a solution for the issue in the topic :)
it´s all in there! you just have to filter out the k-pop to see it.
(meanwhile KI generators keep insisting that it is at least 6 fingers per hand.)

what is the k-pop?
when I opened the mire.touchpad help file no data come through when i press and move my fingers on my trackpad
Hi @R_GOL
-My comment was subtle humorous sarcasm. I find Mira to be the absolute most useful tool for live performance - yet c74 has decided to not update or service this application anymore.

mira.multitouch only works on touchscreen devices - iPad - others. It actually works quite well.
That said, there is an external that does what you want using laptop trackpad - I don't think it has been updated since 2016 - works with intel, not Mseries

K-pop - because I live in Korea and as far as music goes there is only k-pop, k-pop, k-pop. Once you filter out the k-pop, there is nothing there -> mira! (Roman U!)
Hi, does anyone have any experience with IR frame for multitouch porposes with max with or without mira? I tried a greentouch 65" device that work pretty well i.e. as an input for drawing up to 10 gingers but it seems nor mira nor even moving messages' position or nodes are allowed ... just pictslider reacts correctly to the multi finger input... But I can't get mor than one point on the same frame... any suggestion? thanks a lot - stefano
@stefanozorzanello Assuming you are on windows, in Max 9, a little known feature is that you can now use v8ui to respond to multitouch events with new PointerEvent support. We're working on updating the documentation, but in the meantime, here is a simple example that should allow you to build something like mira.multitouch for your purposes.
Hope this helps!

Thank you very much, Joshua! Yes, you're right, and please apologize that I didn't specify my OS which, in facts, is windows 10. At the moment I don't have max9 but I'd like to try it soon. Any hint or workaround with max8?
all the best,
stefano
Thank you again Joshua for your reply, I tried with max9 your patch and it detects all the finger inputs on the screen with a (pretty big) yellow circle. Unfortunately, I still can't make [nodes] or any object inside the frame react to touch inputs, nor I don't find any output for XY coordinates for any finger/point. I assume I should program the object via java code but unfortunately (still), I have not that kind of expertise. Any suggestion?
Thank you for confirming this is working in Max 9 on windows with your touchscreen. Yes, you are correct this is just an example for further extension in Javascript. I've taken a few minutes to change it to output a list of values you can use to control other things in your patch.
outlet(0, pointerevent.eventType, pointerevent.pointerType, pointerevent.pointerId, pointerevent.clientX, pointerevent.clientY, pointerevent.buttons, pointerevent.pressure, pointerevent.twist, pointerevent.tiltX, pointerevent.tiltY);The nodes object is not yet multitouch aware, but I've made a ticket with this feature request.
Hope this helps!
Hi Kit, Any extension you add to the life of MIRA is much welcomed. As one of the increasingly numerous multimodal-maxers, I can say that Jitter has provided us with essential paths to digital seeing. And MIRA is right up there also.
Many thanks for what you do!
