About

The Wiki

This resource features information about multitouch support for Ubuntu, including:

  • drivers for a range of hardware
  • a gesture processing system which does the heavy lifting of gesture analysis
  • APIs for developers who want to build gestures into their apps
  • support for gesture-based window management in Unity

uTouch

The Ubuntu uTouch gesture framework includes several different components:

  • libutouch-geis - ("Gesture Engine Interface and Support") which provides a consistent platform independent interface for any system-wide input gesture recognition mechanism for toolkits and applications

  • libutouch-grail - ("Gesture Recognition And Instantiation Library") which handles the raw data processing and provides higher-level gesture abstractions for developers to consume * gesturetest - which helps show the streams of events and data, useful for debugging and planning

We're also exploring gesture support in legacy applications with the assistance of this project:

  • ginn - ("Gesture Injector: No-GEIS, No-Toolkits") a deamon with jinn-like wish-granting capabilities: it gives applications the ability to support a subset of multi-touch gestures without having to integrate uTouch-GEIS or multi-touch GTK/Qt libs
