Add custom gesture recognition to touchpad and touchscreen driver module Difficulty: Medium Skills Required: C Description: This project can allow user to create custom gesture for special function, like turn off notebook, start a speciel application, and so on. we need a GUI for user to config and input the gesture, and add the recognition code to synaptics module or a new created module. </blockquote> This can also be potentially useful on the desktop with at least this one type of mouse: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/p/touch-mouse">http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/p/touch-mouse</a> It has the matrix of sensors and there is an open source adapter for it allowing to extract <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <a href="https://github.com/mcuelenaere/mstouchmouse/">https://github.com/mcuelenaere/mstouchmouse/</a> finger touch picture. If the gesture recognition, as an algorithm and gui, is properly implemented (as a user-land library), it is very easy to set up such mouse as a gesture based keyboard. Microsoft driver for it does just that on Windows. Yuri </body> </html>
