Creating capacitive touch-sensitive buttons is easy these days; many microcontrollers have cap-sense hardware built-in. This will work for simple on/off control, but what if you want a linear, ...

It’s not your typical application for Zytronic Zyfilm and ZXY150 multitouch controller, but Zytronic Touch Sensors play a key role in Japan’s “Hungry Kitchen,” which is part of the Docodoco indoor ...

Makers and hobbyists that are looking for a capacitive touch sensor for a project, might be interested in a new touch sensor board called the EasyTouch. The EasyTouch capacitive touch sensor can be ...

Fine tuning sensors on prosthetics includes incorporating the sense of touch into a device to be as close to the sensations felt by a natural limb as can be. The two began working together last ...

Capacitive sensing isn't limited to your smartphone. In fact, you can use contact with human skin (or any other conductive surface) to trigger almost any circuit. And the Touch Board from Bare ...

You can’t have a touch sensitive switch without a way to detect the presence of a finger! A touch sensor, especially a capacitive touch sensor, has some surprisingly sophisticated electronics to ...

A team from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Germany have developed a novel thumb-shaped touch sensor capable of resolving the force of a contact, as well as its direction, over the ...

Capacitive touch-sensing user interfaces are replacing mechanical buttons in products across consumer, medical and industrial segments. However, with the advent of touch-sensing user interfaces, ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers in Korea have developed a wearable and stretchable mutual capacitance touch sensor based on graphene electrodes that is capable of multitouch sensing as well as 3D sensing ...

Adding pressure to a human-machine-interface (HMI) touch control can make it far more intuitive to use and allow it to recognize much more than simply “on” and “off.” With this new 3D information, a ...

Researchers have developed a flexible optical touch sensor that can simultaneously detect the strength and location of pressure with high sensitivity and stability. The advance in tactile sensing ...

Apple on Tuesday was granted a patent for an ultrasound-based force and touch sensor that could lead to a thinner, less obstructive 3D Touch mechanism, a structure which was reportedly a barrier to ...
