MT4j (Multitouch for Java) is an open source development platform, created for rapid developement of graphically rich applications.
MT4j is designed to support different kinds of input devices with a special focus on multitouch support.
Features include:
- can be used for 2D, 3D or 2.5D (pseudo-3D) applications
- cross-platform (currently tested under Windows 7, XP, Vista and Ubuntu Linux)
- extensible, component based scene graph structure (similar to the Swing framework)
- input abstraction layer: support for all sorts of input devices can be added
- supports the Windows 7 touch features natively and all the compliant multi-touch hardware
- supports the TUIO protocol, which is provided by finger and object tracking software such as Reactivision, CCV or Touché
- flexible multitouch gesture system: you can define your own multitouch gestures
- the most common multitouch gestures are already included and can be registered modularly with any component for a pluggable behaviour changeable at runtime
- software or hardware accelerated graphics rendering (using OpenGL)
- includes many graphical objects e.g.: rectangles, round rectangles, ellipses, polygons, lines, triangle meshes, spheres, cubes, etc. with support for textures, gradients, fill and outline color
- includes prebuilt UI components: buttons, text, lists, sliders and a multitouch enabled keyboard
- support for loading and fast rendering of vector graphics from SVG files
- supports bitmap and vector fonts (SVG and True Type Fonts)
- imports 3D objects from .3ds and .obj files
- precise picking/selection of all geometric objects in 2D or 3D space
- animation support
- built on top of Processing, which allows you to use its many features and libraries
- test your multitouch application by using one or even multiple mice connected to your PC
