I need to write applications with NUI for multiple simultaneous users. I have the following options:
Of the above three options I believe that with OpenGL I can write my programs, but I am confused about the other two.
With Microsoft Surface SDK 2.0 I am unable to confirm that it can be used with third-party multitouch enabled devices with are Windows 7/8 ready. And also will the application only run on Windows 7 platform, or will it also run on Windows 8.x platform too? How will I be able to deploy Microsoft Surface SDK 2.0 application on the third-party device?
Microsoft Windows 8.1 RT does support multitouch gestures but I can't find anything concrete on its limitations of the number of simultaneous touches.
So I would like help on getting more info on writing Microsoft SDK 2.0 application for third-party devices.
The Surface 2.0 SDK is essentially a set of DLLs that you reference and deploy with your app. They will work on Win7, 8, and 8.1. They are for building 'desktop' apps though as opposed to 'modern' apps which play nicely with things in Win8 like swiping to switch apps.
