Creating capacitive touch-sensitive buttons is easy these days; many microcontrollers have cap-sense hardware built-in. This will work for simple on/off control, but what if you want a linear, ...

In a world increasingly dominated by touchscreens, a London design studio is taking an approach to touch that's both low(er)-tech and innovative at the same time. Bare Conductive raised over ...

Researchers overcome a long-time challenge of flexible touch sensors, demonstrating high repeatability after careful contact preparation Researchers warn of a native insulation layer that covers ...

A new fabric-based touch sensor used machine learning to control mobile apps, video games and other devices while integrated into clothing. A new study from NC State University combines ...

Robots do not look human just yet, but soon they may get the "human touch." Researchers say they have developed a flexible sensor able to detect temperature, pressure and humidity simultaneously, and ...

Some of us might never know the touch of another human, but this project in the Hackaday Prize might just be the solution. It’s TouchYou, [Leonardo]’s idea for a wearable device that allows anyone to ...

Robots could soon have a softer, more human touch thanks to optical pressure sensors embedded in an artificial "skin." Robots are hardly known for their gentle actions -- it's either on or off, so to ...

Ubi’s system can add a touchscreen to nearly any surface, including a tabletop. Touchscreens are naturally intuitive. Hand an iPad to a toddler and they’re quickly swiping at virtual pets or building ...

3D Touch is one of the cornerstone features of the new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. But there’s still quiet a bit of mystery as to how Apple implemented this new pressure-sensitive technology in the ...

New language of sensors may aid search for better pain and itch treatments The human body’s sense of touch is so important it can be found throughout the body, not just on the skin. Two tiny sensors ...
