Touch-Base TUIO Bridge Extension

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

This add-on works best with the UPDD software suite. It will work automatically with the UPDD touch driver and the UPDD Commander app, when used with 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.
