Multi-user web application for content management on multi-touch devices

Nowadays, using touch applications is almost ubiquitous. It is appealing to different age groups, including very young generations who have just started their education. This paper describes development of a product that implements existing web applications into environment that enables multiple users to simultaneously interact with multi-touch device. Web application is developed for children to help them solve various tasks encountered for the first time. This paper analyzes web application requirements and implementation of required functionalities. The main requirement is to provide multiuser environment. Another important requirement is the ability to adjust game representation to child's position at the table. This is why the web application enables users to drag, rotate and resize each instance of the game. This paper also describes how the above mentioned content management is implemented. The other possible ways of implementation will also be mentioned, even though they are not used in the final product. Considering the fact that some children might have mobility difficulties, both gesture and button controls are implemented and can be used, depending on the preferences of a single child. In addition, this paper describes limitations, problems and solutions that have arisen during the web application development process.
