Boing - A flexible multi-touch toolkit

Welcome! This is the documentation for Boing 0.3.1, last updated September 18, 2012.

Boing is a Python 3 toolkit designed to support the development of multi-touch and gesture enabled applications.

Boing enables to create pipelines for connecting different input sources to multiple target destinations (e.g. applications, logs, etc.) and eventually process the data before being dispatched. Boing provides a set of functional nodes that enable to:

• read and decode input sources (e.g. TUIO, OSC, JSON);
• encode and forward data to target outputs (e.g. TUIO, OSC, JSON);
• record and replay the data flow;
• process gesture data (calibration, smoothing filtering, debugging, etc.);
• debug and get statistics of the data flow.

Concrete usage example: the toolkit is used to calibrate and smooth the input events of a TUIO device. At the same time, events are recorded so that, if something interesting happens, they can be logged into a file for replaying them.
