2. Capacitive sensing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_sensing

   Capacitive sensing. In electrical engineering, capacitive sensing (sometimes capacitance sensing) is a technology, based on capacitive coupling, that can detect and measure anything that is conductive or has a dielectric constant different from air. Many types of sensors use capacitive sensing, including sensors to detect and measure proximity ...

3. Touch switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touch_switch

   Touch switch. A touch switch is a type of switch that only has to be touched by an object to operate. It is used in many lamps and wall switches that have a metal exterior as well as on public computer terminals. A touchscreen includes an array of touch switches on a display. A touch switch is the simplest kind of tactile sensor.

4. Tactile sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactile_sensor

   A PPS tactile sensor system (TactileHead []) designed to quantify the pressure distribution over the face and head. Useful to optimise the ergonomic design of headgear and eyewear. The SynTouch BioTac, [2] a multimodal tactile sensor modeled after the human fingertip. A tactile sensor is a device that measures information arising from physical ...

5. Touchscreen - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touchscreen

   A user operating a touchscreen. Smart thermostat with touchscreen. A touchscreen (or touch screen) is a type of display that can detect touch input from a user. It consists of both an input device (a touch panel) and an output device (a visual display). The touch panel is typically layered on the top of the electronic visual display of a device.

6. Multi-touch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-touch

   Multi-touch is commonly implemented using capacitive sensing technology in mobile devices and smart devices. A capacitive touchscreen typically consists of a capacitive touch sensor, application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) controller and digital signal processor (DSP) fabricated from CMOS (complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor ...

7. Force Touch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_Touch

   Capacitive sensors behind the display of an iPhone 6S Taptic Engine embedded into the iPhone 6S. On iPhones with 3D Touch, the capacitive sensors are directly integrated into the display. When a press is detected, these capacitive sensors measure microscopic changes in the distance between the back light and the cover glass.

8. Capacitive displacement sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_displacement_sensor

   Capacitive displacement sensors are "non-contact devices capable of high-resolution measurement of the position and/or change of position of any conductive target". [1] They are also able to measure the thickness or density of non-conductive materials. [2] Capacitive displacement sensors are used in a wide variety of applications including ...

9. Touch-sensitive lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touch-sensitive_lamp

   A touch-sensitive lamp is a combination of a lamp and a touch switch. They act on the principle of body capacitance, activated by human touch rather than a flip, push-button, or other mechanical switch. They are popular as desk and nightstand lamps. Touch-sensitive lamp switches may be dimmable, allowing the brightness of the lamp to be ...
