CHAPTER 3
Enabling Your Multi-Touch Desktop Display
Windows® 7 USB Compatibility
3M multi-touch technology works seamlessly with the Windows® 7 operating system.
The Multi-touch display supports USB HID for direct communication. The Multi-Touch
Desktop Display leverages all the multi-touch functionality that is native to Windows® 7.
Plug the display in to a system running Windows® 7 and you’ll quickly enter the world
of true multi-touch functionality.
The Multi-Touch Desktop Display is compatible with Windows 7 with no additional
software. Refer to Microsoft's Windows 7 documentation for additional information.
All Other Platforms
When using a Windows® 7 serial connection or for Windows XP, Vista or Linux
operating systems (either USB or serial), 3M provides MicroTouch MT 7 Software for
multi-touch drivers. This guide includes information for writing your own drivers to
interface with the 3M Multi-Touch Technology.
For non-Windows 7 operating system users this document provides the communication
protocol necessary to talk directly with the electronics. This enables software developers
using other operating systems such as Microsoft Windows® Vista or Linux® to write
their own drivers and achieve the same multi-touch results.
Multi-Touch Application Support
Remember not all applications are multi-touch ready -- Multi-touch behavior is a function
of YOUR application. Check with your application vendor to determine if your software
has multi-touch capability.
