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.
Configuring TUIO Output
To send touch events through the TUIO protocol:
Click the TUIO icon in the top-right corner of Displax Connect.
Select the appropriate Touch Controller if more than one is connected.
Enter the IP address and Port of the receiving client - this is filled automatically for a single touch controller - for multiple controllers, increment the Port nmber for the subsequent controllers to 3334; 3335; etc. (see this example)
Click “ADD TUIO CLIENT”.
💡 Important: Configure TUIO after finishing all touch setting adjustments and calibration.
