Im struggling to find a answer for this I am running a windows 8.1 machine and I'm trying to find a way to enable multi touch support within max. currently if you have one point of contact on the monitor it will not register any others.

I have seen a lot of discussion about making this work on OSX but not much if any info on windows 8.1 that supports multitouch natively, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've been looking for a way to enable multitouch in Windows 8 as well. No luck yet.

there's no support for multi-touch on Windows currently

Don't know the proper etiquette for the board: better to start a new topic, or zombie post if the topic is the same?

I just wanted to check in on Windows (8, 8.1, 10, and onwards into the future) native multitouch detection. I'm on a computer that has a full 10-point capacitive touch screen, and I've been seeing more and more cheap tablets running full windows that also have multitouch. I've done some preliminary investigations, but for now it seems like a stable, simple, robust solution isn't yet available. The closest I have seen is MMF, and even then if I am understanding it right it seems like you have to purchase a special driver to convert multitouch data into TUIO data. Trying to avoid spending extra cash, I've seen some utilities that might be able to do it for free but they seem iffy.

Does anyone have a comprehensive guide for Windows multitouch interaction with Max? Something that is stable enough for commercial use?

Is there any update from Cycling74 in regards to implementing multitouch? Is it on their radar? Any estimated timeframes?

Any insights appreciated. Also just trying to keep the topic alive, since multitouch interaction with Max patches would obviously be great.

I am now for several years wishing I could use my 10 points screen with Max.

It would be great to have some clues from Cycling about a roadmap on this, if there's one.

My bet is: As long as there is no touch screen/multi touch API on OS X it's probably not gonna happen. Because that would break the cross-platform compatibility significantly....

It's a shame to be held back on what could be such an amazing opportunity for creating controllers in Max...

What would you suggest as a viable alternative, that could communicate with Max to control the audio part ?

iSee. Thanks for the iNsight :p
