FYI. Work by IBM re PointerEvents and TouchEvents mapping. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Let's get going on the Touch Events / Pointer Events mapping Resent-Date: Mon, 14 Oct 2013 15:34:52 +0000 Resent-From: <public-webevents@w3.org> Date: Mon, 14 Oct 2013 13:17:23 +0200 From: ext Sebastien Pereira <spereira@dojomobile.org> To: <public-webevents@w3.org> Hi Art, As discussed with you and Doug, here is a work IBM has done on Pointer/Touch events mapping that could contribute to this work item: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvdBn9Kvx22qdGRnRXNPb0ZBTUl3SEkwdUdtaW9pWWc&usp=sharing The approach: we started from common user actions: click/tap and swipe gesture. We tested each user action on various devices/os/browsers and wrote how touch events were generated. Then we identified patterns that gave a pseudo code to be implemented. With mobile enabled applications and increase of desktop touchscreens, the javascript framework Dojo Toolkit was looking for a solution to handle heterogeneous events (mouse, touch...). As Pointer Events are not to be implemented right away in all supported browser by Dojo (desktop and mobile), we worked on a shim implementation. That is where our work could be usefull: we had to work on how to map Pointer Events with Touch Events. You can browse the current implementation here: https://github.com/seb-pereira/pointer Sebastien Pereira On 10/11/2013 02:18 PM, Arthur Barstow wrote: > Hi All, > > We agreed to produce a document regarding mapping Touch Events to/from > Pointer Events and I'd like to get moving on this mapping. > > Rick - would you be willing to lead this effort?
