Hi everyone, I require to record the finger movements produced on an iPad via Pavlovia, and get the exact position and the time at which this position was recorded (every frame). Is this possible, and if so, how can I do that? best regards, Christian

It should be possible. I would start here: Pavlovia experiments on Tablet? Dissertation help needed

Hi Jonathan, thank you very much! I had a look at the example provided in this thread. As far as I understand, they just used a regular mouse to record the touches on the mobile device. Could this be true? Is the input also the mouse for the ipad, as it is for the laptop and desktop PC? best re…

[image] Christian_Leukel: get the exact position Hi @Christian_Leukel It is not clear to me what you mean with the above. Is it where the fingers are touching on (clicking) the screen or how the finger moved while e.g. dragging an item over the screen and you want to record the path they fol…

Dear Yiannis, thanks for your quick reply. in my experiment the subjects move on the screen with their finger for 10 seconds. Every frame, I want to record the position of the finger, during this 10 seconds period. No dragging of object, just recording the paths they move during these 10 seconds…

You are basically recording the position of the mouse on each frame. You could append mouse.getPos() to a list and save the list. That’s probably better than having a new row or column every frame.

Hi wakecarter, so it’s just setting up a mouse component and adding code to get the mouse position every frame and save it to a list?! It’s that easy? Cheers, Christian

Please could you expand on that. How is it different/better?

I think trajtracker is a better way.
