[Tool] mtdev2tuio - a Linux multitouch device to TUIO bridge

[Richard Nauber]

Hi there,
I like to introduce a little tool that allows to use a
multitouch-capable device (when supported by the linux kernel) as TUIO
client. This enables you to show off with a bunch of existing software
(e.g. a compiz plugin, multitouch numptyphysics, and a lot more:
http://www.tuio.org/?showcase ). The prerequisites are liblo and
libmtdev, which should be pretty standard for modern distributions.

So have a look at
http://repo.or.cz/w/mtdev2tuio.git
and feel free to contribute!

Have fun,
Richard

I managed to get the smoke application running, great stuff!
