I have two touch screen monitors and connected them to my Windows7 PC using USB. Both the monitors accept the touch input.
The problem is, When I try to touch both the monitors (displaying different applications or a single application) at the same time, only one responds to the touch, taking the focus from the other screen.
Is there a way that both the screens can respond independently when touching at the same time?

No. Your “mental model” is not correct. It’s not the screens that
respond. The monitors might be generating the touch events, but the
images on those monitors are not independent. They are all part of one
big desktop. It’s the desktop that responds, and there is only one. It
is exactly the same thing as touching two windows on a single monitor.
Someone has to arbitrate, and in an arbitration, someone loses.
