Controlling your smartphone from the screen? How boring. Controlling a smartphone with a capacitive touch case from the back – that's the smudge-free display future. That's how accessory maker Canopy ...

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 Part I of this series, we explored the differences between user interfaces based on mechanical buttons and those utilizing capacitive touch sensors. In Step 1 we discussed the look and feel of a ...

The hardware design of a capacitive touch application is crucial to the systems’ overall success. The decisions made in this step of the process will determine how difficult it is to get a working, ...

Apple is developing official iPhone cases that act like secondary touch interfaces for future devices, claims a new rumor out of China. According to known Weibo-based leaker Instant Digital, Apple is ...

We're used to tapping away at flat, glass-covered touchscreen devices like smartphones and tablets. A group of Stanford researchers have taken that capacitive touch concept and applied it to a ...

Many people mistake the growth in capacitive touch sensors as the adoption of new technology. But the fact is advances in mixed-signal programmable devices, those that combine analog and digital into ...

With the introduction of the first smartphones in 2012 with in-cell touch displays, a battle is emerging between the traditional supply chain of ITO-based touch sensors that are externally combined ...
