Touch screen experiments
in OpenSesame
Hello all,
first of all I want to express my gratitude for the development of OSWeb, which is turning out to be extremely useful in this period whereby labs are closed.
Atm, I am programming an experiment that should be executed on iPads. With some inline scripts, I think that I will be able to get movements such as multiple-fingers touches, but I am running into the problem of how to test what I have done so far. Would you suggest me to upload everything into JATOS and then just test it on a separate device or is there another way to do so (e.g., app for tablets)?
Many thanks!

Hi Sine,
No, I guess the best (and safest) way to test your scripts is moving as close to the final use case as possible. If you will run this study on Ipads via osweb, you should create the experiment via osweb, share the link via jatos and then test it on an Ipad. Of course there are some steps that you can also on the machine on which you are programming, but eventually you will have to test the way I mentioned it.
For the record, the functionality of touch responses in inline_scripts for the OSweb is rather limited compared to the desktop version of opensesame. So you should take this into account when scripting your task. See here for more details:
