Pooky
Pooky is a project realised by students of the University of Ghent. The project focus is to enable relatively new technologies in the Firefox browser:
- Multi-touch: Upcoming technology, enables an intuitive control in computers.
- Bluetooth: currently the most popular exchanging protocol used between devices.
These technologies are split up into 2 Firefox extensions.
PookyTouch and jPooky
PookyTouch enables the use of multi-touch in Mozilla Firefox. Simply put, this is done by forwarding multi-touch events, generated by a TUIO server, to HTML or XUL pages. The events follow the Safari API. We also provide a simple multi-touch widget (drag&drop, stretching, rotation) with our javascript library jPooky.
PookyTooth
PookyTooth enables bluetooth usage in Firefox. By installing this extension you can use the services that are generally used in bluetooth in your Firefox browser. At the moment only one service is implemented, OBEX FTP protocol, this service enables users to exchange files between his browser and a device.
