Hi folks,
I made a simple Sugar activity to test the XO-4's multi-touch screen:
http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4611/
It works fine most of the time. Sometimes the touch contact ends unexpectedly
without lifting the finger.
It also demonstrates that the Neonode sensor's two touch points are not
independent: If you put down two fingers simultaneously, it does not know in
which of the 4 possible positions the two fingers are (it only knows that 2
horizontal and 2 vertical beams got obstructed) and so it has to guess. Also,
the tracking sometimes "switches over", e.g. when doing a pinch-zoom using your
right hand.
For activity developers this means that pinch/zoom and rotation gestures will
work fine, but we cannot rely on truly independent touch tracking.
Also, two-finger sweeps are not always recognized as two fingers if they are
held close together.
Nonetheless, it is fun to play with if you happen to have an XO-4 Touch :)

Patches welcome, but I want to keep the source simple, this is not going to
become another Paint activity.

PS: Could some admin please delete the accidental non-mainline repo in
http://git.sugarlabs.org/testmultitouch/ ? Keep "mainline", remove
"testmultitouch". Thanks.
