Hi,

I'm in process of developing a touch screen application. Can any one mention me which is the best suited platform to develop this technology. Explain me whether to develop this as a web portal or as a dynamic application. Thank in advance.

Regards

Simply put, there really is no "best suited" platform. Each platform has it's own pros and cons. Trying to tell you a specific "best suited" platform is like trying to tell you what to wear everyday!!! The real catch here is that touch screens, either in settings or during setup, allow you to use it with or without the mouse/keyboard. So, it'll work anyway. As for this web portal or dynamic application, since you didn't give any general details as to what you're trying to make, good luck!!!Have Fun!!

Several years ago I helped develop a UI in VB for use with a touch screen. Basically, a touch to the screen was the same as a mouse click. So, rather than focusing your question on "technology" for the touch screen, focus on what is best for the application...

One thing to keep in mind is how large the areas need to be for someone to touch them. A mouse allows pretty accurate clicking, but fingers need a larger "target" to hit accurately. Related to this is the space between "targets". With a mouse it's obvious where you are clicking, but with a finger it is easier to accidently hit buttons that are too close to each other.

Hope this helps...
