The Microsoft® MultiPoint™ SDK version 1.1 is a development framework that allows developers to build applications that enable up to 250 individual mouse devices to work simultaneously on one computer. As a developer, you can use the MultiPoint SDK to create educational applications for schools with limited technological infrastructure, thus increasing the amount of time any one student can spend on a computer. Initial pilot programs conducted in India by Microsoft Research show that for certain subjects, collaborative learning technologies like MultiPoint enhance learning when compared to a 1:1 computing scenario.MultiPoint should not be confused with applications that allow multiple people to control multiple mouse devices to perform standard operations. In those cases, the system traditionally cannot identify which mouse has made which changes, and there is normally no option for controlling the permissions of the various devices. MultiPoint is a development framework that enables developers to build applications to take advantage of multiple mouse devices, including the ability to handle mouse clicks from different users independently and to assign different permissions to each mouse. For example, the mouse belonging to a teacher in a learning application might need additional permissions to control the activity).It is possible to develop a MultiPoint OpenSource tool to benefit us. Any new ideas on it will be appreciated. Happy FOSS.. Jaya NOSK.
