I was wondering if anyone on here has ever bought touchscreens from outside vendors to run a dual monitor touch screen system with HogPC. Last year I worked on setting up HogPC and an Obsession 600 linked together and controlled by SFX. My department has expressed interest in attempting to make the system better. I figured the WholeHog II used touch screens, so why not HogPC. Has anyone ever tried this or thought about this? If so, any recomendation for touch screen brands. Any issues with driver or system requirements. I'm not as worried about system requirements as my theatre is in the process of upgrading the computer running SFX and HogPC on it. Thanks for everyone's help, I look forward to any responces.
Touchscreens on Windows basically behave as a pointing device. Since Hog 2PC is just a Windows application, you should be able to use any touchscreens for which you can find proper Windows drivers.
If you plan on working on a Wholehog 3 or Hog iPC console, you may want to consider purchasing Elo touchscreens, since those are the ones that are supported on our console platforms. We've had very good luck with the Elos (I own 2 myself) and we use them in the test lab daily with all of our products.
