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.
As long as you find touchscreens that have drivers for the version of Windows that you are running, they should work fine with Hog PC. Touchscreens are handled as pointing devices by Windows and the touch information is passed onto Hog PC as mouse clicks.
As I mentioned above, if you ever plan to use these touchscreens with a Wholehog console, you should look into purchasing one of the supported Elo touchscreen models suggested in the console user manual.
