Our drivers can be used to add touch support where none exist, for enhanced functionality not offered by native driver support, or to support touch hardware not supported in certain operating system releases. UPDD supports multi-touch at an operating system level (if supported) but also at a native UPDD API and TUIO Server level, allowing for the development and support of multi-touch and multi-user UPDD API and TUIO client applications.
UPDD drivers are available for Windows XP through to the latest Windows 11 edition. In all cases UPDD supports legacy serial and non-HID USB devices as well as modern HID USB devices. It allows modern multi-touch monitors to be used in old XP systems, and old legacy touch hardware to be used in most recent Windows systems. It also brings a wealth of touch functionality and hardware configuration options not supported by native HID drivers. An older UPDD is still available for Windows 95, NT and 2000.
UPDD drivers are available for MacOS 10.7 and above. The latest UPDD driver, V7, is a universal binary driver with native support for both Intel and ARM processors. UPDD supports legacy serial and non-HID USB devices as well as modern HID USB devices. When used with a multi-touch screen it supports full multi-touch gestures, mimicking the functionality of a multi-touch trackpad or magic mouse. An older UPDD driver is still available for Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7.
The implementation of the UPDD V6 driver within the Linux environment is such that it should work in most mainstream distributions, simplifying the use of touch in what can sometimes be a difficult environment to configure and utilise touch functionality. It supports legacy serial and non-HID USB devices as well as modern HID USB devices.
In this predominantly mobile operating system, UPDD V6 extends touch support to any UPDD-supported USB HID device.
Not all previously supported operating systems are currently supported by the latest UPDD drivers. However, an older UPDD driver is still available for Win CE 5 through 2013 and Solaris 10. Please contact us for further details.
