You likely use touchscreens every day when interacting with your phone — perhaps even to read this article — but creating your own capacitive matrix is unfortunately out of reach for most makers and electronics novices. As seen here, researchers have devised a new technique that will allow for easier prototyping of this type of […]
Today when you get a text, you can respond with message via an on-screen keyboard. Looking into the future, however, how would you interact unobtrusively with a device that’s integrated into eyeglasses, contacts, or perhaps even something else? TipText is one solution envisioned by researchers at Dartmouth College, which uses a MPR121 capacitive touch sensor […]
If you’d like to integrate touch functionality to your LED project, then tuenhidiy may have just the thing for you. The setup uses 16 pairs of IR emitter and receivers arranged down the length of a bi-color 16×32 matrix to tell when one has inserted a finger or other object into an area. When sensed, […]
Amanda Ghassaei (previously featured on Arduino Blog with Glitchbox and Vocal Effect box ) published the instructions to build an Arduino-powered infrared touchscreen / coffee-table interface that she’s been using to control various music and graphics applications on her computer.
Touché is a capacitive-sensing technology, developed by Walt Disney Research, which aims at providing touch and gesture sensitivity to a great variety of objects. From this research paper: The technology is scalable, i.e., the same sensor is equally effective for a pencil, a doorknob, a mobile phone or a table. Gesture recognition also scales with objects: a […]
Possible low-end solution for multi-touch surfaces based on Arduino Mega: So i’ve been working on this project for a while now as part of my thesis and independently and work is still continuing. So just an overview the project is a multi-touch and multi-modal input sensor that can be utilised behind traditional LCD panels […]
