Tuio.js: Multitouch and tangible interaction in the web browser

May 24, 2012

Tuio.js is a JavaScript implementation of the TUIO library for multitouch and tangible interaction in the web browser. It brings a 1:1 port of the original TUIO Java library.

How it works
TUIO is based on the OSC protocol and usually transferred via UDP. Tuio.js uses node.js and Websockets (Socket.IO) to push OSC/TUIO messages to the browser. TUIO.js converts the messages to events that applications can register with.
