Desktop HTML Kiosk with Touch support

Question

I have to develop an application in html/js for a kiosk. This Kiosk will be displayed on a Windows Touch screen, with "Windows Touch" capability.

It seems that there is some frameworks to use the gestures on mobile plateform, but I found nothing for a Desktop with a Touch Screen.

Is there a mean to use a "Slide gesture" on an html page, (for example to slide a big panel), opening the page in a browser in Windows 7, on a Desktop computer?

Thanx in advance for your help

Answer 1

Support for proper touch events in the browser is a browser-by-browser consideration. In IE 10 and 11, Microsoft have abstracted the concept away from Mouse and Touch events to what they call Pointer events and Gesture events respectively.

With your specific request for a "slide gesture" for interacting with a carousel, there's a specific IE Blog article on the topic .
