The latest generation of handheld personal consumer electronic devices, with their highly sensitive and intuitive user interfaces based around projected capacitive (p-cap) touchscreens, have begun to ...

Capacitive sensors work by using the human body as one of the capacitive plates of an electrical circuit. A leader in low power capacitance touch sensors, NXP offers a range of auto calibrating ...

The multi-touch ClearPad 3000 series of capacitive touch sensors brings high-resolution capacitive touchscreens with basic gesture capability to mobile handsets and other handheld devices. With the ...

The sensors provide a reliable alternative to mechanical switches that may have a high rate of wear and tear. The sensors use capacitive technology for start and stop actuation, and are available with ...

NXP Semiconductors N.V. today announced a complete family of self-calibrating capacitive touch and proximity switches designed for harsh environments. The PCF8883 and PCF8885, along with the ...

ON Semiconductor has introduced a highly integrated capacitance-to-digital converter IC that will speed the implementation and reduce the component count of electrostatic capacitance touch sensor ...

Fish-scale-like gaps help soft robotic grippers sense bending, texture, and firmness through small contact changes.

Most projects that interface with the real world need some sort of input device. Obviously this article is being written from a standardized “human interface device” but when the computers become ...
