Hi everyone !
I'm studying signal processing and computer science in Grenoble, France. It's the last year for my engineering studies.
I'm fond of "traditional" music (love for jazz, hip-hop and electronic stuffs). I'm also spending many times into more experimental projects around sound, interaction, composition processes (that I would be happy to share once tidied) using tools like pure data, processing, juce...
I really want to pursue my life into that fields to develop tools for music creations or performances. That is why I targetted (for many years now) the Atiam at Ircam which is, from what heard, a very good scientific M2 applied in music in France. Courses apart, it surely is a good environment for meeting people in the domain and developing projects with good feedbacks.
Currently making my CVs, covering letter... Though I'm looking for this type of formation and not only Atiam. Do you know any equivalent formation around the world (not only France)? Have you got recommendations, ideas or alternatives concerning these kind of studies?

Thanks for reading !

@whale-av From what I read it looks great ! Thanks, I keep you in touch.
Adrien

@whale-av Exactly ! And with one finger (to start). Ok, thank you for the idea.
Adrien

@whale-av Thank you. However, I still need to slide my finger. If I tap in two spots of the touchscreen there is no change. I'd like the position of the finger on the touchscreen.

I think [mousestate] (and other like [cursor] or [mouse_region]) uses relative position: when you move your mouse then raise it and place it on another spot, the position of the cursor on screen doesn't change.
With [cursor] I can detect taps and then control the refresh of the position by tapping but between 2 taps I need to slide my finger to indicate that the cursor has been moved (not my goal).

In other words I'm looking for an object that can help me get the position of my finger on the touchscreen, not the position of the cursor on screen.

Thanks but with [MouseState] the position values change when sliding the finger and not tapping.
For instance if I tap on the upper left corner of the touchscreen and then I tap on the lower right corner (without sliding my finger), I'd like to get 2 different positions.

Hi,
I want to be able to tap on a specific area of the laptop (Asus) touchscreen and get its absolute position.
I only know objects that give mouse relative position ([mouse_region], [gemmouse], [cursor]...).
One interesting object that could help me is [hid] but I can't test it since it doesn't seem to work on my version of Pd. I'm using pd-extended 0.43.4 on windows 8.1 x64.
Is there a way to make [hid] work ?
Are there other objects which could help me ?
Thanks !
