Touch Screen
-
I have only been using sketchUp for a couple of weeks but I am already addicted. My question is whether or not anyone has used a touch screen display to demonstrate their sketchUp models. I want to display a model on a touch screen kiosk so that people can navigate themselves around and through the model. Any ideas?

it depends on the kiosk that is used on - what hardware and software is available to be able to use it fully.
you can have, for example, rotate when you press and move left right (a la iPhone) or have specific scenes that can show an animation.

Thanks TBD for your quick reply.
I have not spent long researching the kiosk but I have not seen any yet that would operate like an iphones navigation.
Assuming that this is the case and the touch screen display only acts as the mouse, would I be right in saying that the most realistic way of letting people navigate around the model would be through animation. To let them choose a sceene to go to or to play the animation as a movie. If so, is there a way to rename the scene tabs to give them loaction based names?

it depends if it is a resistive or capacitive touchscreen - on resistive you must press harder to make a contact between the layers compared with capacitive where the body electrical charge is used to pinpoint the position.
a simple program that monitors the mouse position in a refined space (like SU window) can be used for rotation of the view and other buttons for scene loading, position, ...
it all depends of the hardware to make a custom solution that works

One option for the file format is a 3D PDF it has all the movement with none of the complexity

Cheers Tobobo, That might just work!!
