Today I visited multiple sites to investigate the possibilities and more importantly limitations of the hardware that I have. I located a link to the manufacturer which allowed me to research tips on how to design applications on the touchscreen. Some of these things involved not using bright colors, testing in full screen, etc. The link to this information can be found here: Elotouch
Along with the information found at the manufacturers webpage, there was a link at the bottom of their page to an MSDN resource page which I looked into. There were specifications about how large controls should be on the form, as well as more tips on creating a clean interface. The link to this information can be found here: msdn.Microsoft
This webpage is my first attempt at a touch application. During its development I kept in mind some of the rules presented in the two previous sites, and made the clickable area of the links larger. By giving the user more pixels to hit with their finger,this webpage is "touchable", and is designed with tablets and smart phones in mind as well.
