The project

ShareIT is a research project sponsored by Aerospace Valley. The goal of the project is to design and test touch interfaces to be shared by the pilot and co-pilot in the cockpit of an aircraft. This requires multitouch technologies and the project involves:

hardware design, done by Stantum

operational expertise, brought by ENAC

requirement analysis and tests, done by Thales Avionics

interface design and prototyping, done by IntuiLab

software support for multitouch, done by our lab at ENAC.
ShareIT started in early 2008 for three years.

Our contribution

The lab's involvment includes:

analysis of existing multitouch devices

production of drivers for multitouch devices

work on models of input management that support mutitouch interaction

production of an input management layer in the Istar environment

Public resources

a description of multitouch interaction and related technical issues

a list of available multitouch devices

Linux drivers for multitouch devices

X.org patch for multipoint interaction with multitouch devices

analysis of the N-Trig DuoSense device and its firmware versions
