Using an iPad for multi-touch input

While this is not practical for real usage scenarios, using an iPad is a very quick way to test out Glassomium without having to build a MT-mini or spend money on more expensive hardware.

Glassomium supports any TUIO-enabled device and an iPad is fully capable of sending TUIO messages.

  • Install TuioPad on your iPad
  • Make sure your iPad is connected to the same network of the computer running Glassomium
  • Run TuioPad and in the host field type the IP address of the computer that is running Glassomium
  • Leave the port at 3333 and the protocol at UDP
  • Press Start

If nothing happens, make sure you run Glassomium in debug mode (see the Troubleshooting gestures section on this page) and that your firewall is not blocking the incoming UDP messages.
