The excitement sparked by Apple iPhone's touch screen has created much hype about projected capacitive touch technology. However, in terms of market share or applications, projected capacitive touch ...

Capacitive touch sensors are entirely in the domain of DIY, requiring little more than a carefully-chosen conductive surface and a microcontroller. This led [John Phillips] to ask why not embed such ...

In the grand scheme of things, one millimeter may not seem like a lot, but in the smartphone arms race toward ever-slimmer devices, measurements like that matter. Synaptics, best known for building ...

The global capacitive touchscreen market is set to experience unprecedented growth in the coming decade, with a valuation projected to rise from USD 15,979.9 million in 2024 to an impressive USD ...

A second automaker has realized that going all-out on capacitive touch buttons is the wrong move. First, Honda backtracked, giving the 10th-generation Civic a physical volume knob to replace the touch ...

Electromechanical switches are simple, cheap, and widely available (Fig. 1). However, they’re also plagued with a number of disadvantages, including wear with repeated use, and the potential for ...

“Interactive Fish Tank” is an installation that explores new, wet boundaries in touch-based interfaces. Developed in 2011 by Manuela Donoso and Crys Moore, Masters candidates at NYU’s Interactive ...

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 ...

Electric guitars are great, but they’re just so 20th century. You’d think decades of musicians riffing on the instrument would mean there are no hacks left in the humble axe. You’d think so, but you’d ...
