Conclusions
Conclusions
Previous solutions using a bridge took more time due
to TCP to UDP datagram conversion.
The time required in developing applications for multi-
touch devices can be shortened using TouchAll.
TouchAll allows to use fiducials and multi-touch
through UDP, TCP, flash LocalConnection all in once.
ActionbScript-based non-free software alternatives
exist, but not with native fiducial support.

Conclusions
Future work
Development of tools that allow device emulation, for
multi-touch, multi-mouse pointer, and platform inde-
pendent application testing.
Include in the TouchAll API more native widgets for
specific fiducials.
Include in the TouchAll API support for 3D object load-
ing and gesture based manipulation.
Integrate the TouchAll API as an module of an 2D/3D
ActionScript 3.0 game engine.
