## Description

The Touch-Base TUIO Bridge allows touch-enabled webpages to work in operating systems that don't natively support touch screens, namely macOS.

It converts all received TUIO touches to <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/c8a4399b907d42639320d3aff1429c58e29249b4e6701225b12594b9e67ee4ce/https%3A//developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Touch_events" rel="nofollow">browser touch events</a> so that touch-enabled websites can be used with your touch screen or TUIO server, provided it supports the WebSocket protocol.

This add-on works best with the UPDD software suite. It will work automatically with the UPDD touch driver and the UPDD Commander, when using UPDD Commander's "Browsers (TUIO)" preset.

It can also be used with other TUIO servers, provided it is combined with another app or script that converts the TUIO UDP packets into WebSocket packets.
