Research direction

Start by checking ioHub's native handling of multi-touch events on Surface Pro 2, then compare it with the proposed browser-side bookmarklet/extension path into Confero. Done means choosing and scoping one supported event-capture route, including whether enablement is required; the issue names no files or tests.

Description

enhancement question

This just came to my mind -- we may need to do eye-tracking on Surface Pro 2s, which will be touch-driven. How does ioHub handle multi-touch events? If they are handled natively, do we need to "enable" them? Or if they are not in ioHub, how hard do you think it will be to add the support?

Alternatively, I can try to capture multitouch events on the browser side and send messages to Confero. That puts some pressure on getting the bookmarklet/extension done.
