This is disappointing, I've been looking into touch interfaces for kiosks. Currently the best option for us is using IE on Windows 8.1.
OS X isn't really built for touch, and the browsing experience isn't that great on it with a touch screen.
Chrome and FF in desktop mode doesn't deliver the visual cues that the pages are loading the same way IE does. Which I didn't even realize until I got my hands on it. For some reason people (read me and everyone that has tested it) feel like a response should be instant when you click a link on a giant touch screen. IE does a great job of popping up UI to communicate that it is working. Chrome just sets the tab's favicon to a spinner.
- r00fus 13y agoWhy not just use an iPad or Android tablet (Galaxy Tab 12.2)?
- rblatz 13y agoWe are thinking of a much larger touch screen than a tablet.
- moron4hire 13y agoThere are some desktop-sized Android machines these days. The one I saw at Staples wasn't very impressive, but apparently it's possible. That said, I'm also building a touch app on Windows 8. But it's not consumer-facing, it's going out to state DOTs. I've stuck to using regular, ol' WinForms, mostly because I still find it loads easier to actually program than any of the newer shit MS has floated.
