[open] Touch Interaction Variables
Hello,
I was just wondering what are all the possible variables that can be recorded on the Android tablet interface? I've already got resptime (response time), movtime (the time for the movement of my image) and position (coordinates of where the individual touches on the image). But, are there other possible variables, such as the pressure of the touch, the distance of the touch, etc.?
The variables I'm using are written into the InLine code with Python.
This is my first thread with the actual experiment on (which works perfectly, by the way!): http://www.cogsci.nl/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/1109/solved-using-opensesame-for-android-tablet-use-touch-interaction#Item_15
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi,
You can simply think of touches as mouse clicks. So you can get the location, time, and duration (i.e. by looking also at mouse releases, which takes a bit of extra coding, but is possible).
Multitouch and pressure sensitivity are not supported. But you do have access to the accelerometer. You can find a description of the Android-specific modules here:
