Hey,
I just wondered if anybody here tried out the new Wacom Intuos 5 touch tablets with Usine?
Is it a feasible way to use Usines multitouch?
Cheers,
Tom

as far i can see, it's classic windows multi touch recognition, so i suppose it must work, but will be better to have confirmation from a user

Thanks nay-seven,
that's what I hope. Just thought maybe somebody has some experience with it already.
I'll report what I find - I just ordered one since my old one broke recently
Cheers,
Tom

Just some quick feedback:
The tablet as such is really great.
But for an unknown reason, Wacom decided to not make the touch-part work like a tablet with absolute positioning, but basically like a laptop-touchpad more mouse-like. So while it recognizes some hardwired multitouch gestures which can be useful, it doesn't allow you to for instance move 3 sliders at once with 3 fingers.
So I'm still happy I bought it (my old one just died), but it doesn't live up to it's full potential so far.
Maybe later driver generations can implement more modes.
It could be cool for Windows 8 to not have to touch the monitor.
Cheers,
Tom

seems like There are going to be alot of new laptops with touchscreens in the pipeline. We shall probably have to start a thread to keep up with all of those.

I was unclear:
What I meant is: ATM you have to move the mouse pointer to the slider to move it, just like with a mouse.
What I did expect was, that I could touch a certain position on the tablet and be able to directly move from there, just like a tablet pen works.
And if that would support multitouch, you could use it like a multitouch monitor.
What works is, if you move your mouse to a slider, you can move it with two fingers at once, but that's not too exciting
Cheers,
Tom
