Passive Object Recognition & TUIO Configuration in Displax Connect

Object Recognition

The Object Recognition feature enables physical (Passive) Tags to be identified and tracked as unique objects via the TUIO protocol.

• When enabled: Tags are recognized as objects and TUIO messages (ID, position, rotation) are sent.

• When disabled: Tags are treated as normal touchpoints; no object data is transmitted.
  
  

  ⚠️ Available on: DISPLAX Skin ULTRA, TILE, and TILE PRO only.
