Is it possible to utilize the Input.Touch without buying the PRO licens of either Unity3D or the smartdevice licenses? ADDED INFO I am building an Unity application that will run in a browser or as standalone by using the Unity FREE edition. I am going to connect a Touchscreen-monitor to my PC or Mac and the input from this, I want to grab from Unity3D. My question is therefore: is the API for Input.Touch available for usage without buying any Unity licensing??? Its not a smartdevice application at the moment, so its not running on iOS or Android, is PURE Mac OSX or Windows.

You can use it without the Pro, but you will definitively need and iOS license, Basic at least, otherwise there would be no point in building against a non-touchscreen platform. Check this tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOfPMKdJdKk Source code should be still here: http://www.revelopment.co.uk/tutorials/unitytutorials/73-howtorotateanobjectbytouch YouTube link is dead? secondly, WHY do I need iOS for a browser-player-game? I will just connect a TOUCHDISPLAY monitor and use that as input???

You mean http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Input-touches.html yes that one, but each entry represents a status of a finger touching the screen...

Yes, that variable is available with the regular iOS/Android licenses, not just iOS Pro/Android Pro.

I think I might have confused you or something. I am talking about a normal PC with a touchscreen display, is it possible to use the Input.Touch for that with the normal free license? I am thinking of buying such a screen...

Ah, I see. I recall there's something like that.... google "uniTuio".

Input.Touch is not available for usage with windows/mac. It's intended for use with the smartphone versions. Because so few people have touchscreen PCs, Unity never bothered integrating access to PC touchscreen drivers. But as far as I can tell, UniTuio DOES allow you to use PC touchscreen drivers under Unity. They just won't happen to be called Input.touches.

I will contact Unity sales + make a simple test with the touch interface and post my answer here when done. Feel free to be faster than me.
