Electrick: Low-Cost Touch Sensing Using Electric Field Tomography

More info: http://yang-zhang.me/research/Electrick/Electrick.html

We introduce Electrick, a low-cost and versatile sensing technique that enables touch input on a wide variety of objects and surfaces, whether small or large, flat or irregular. This is achieved by using electric field tomography in concert with an electrically conductive material, which can be easily and cheaply added to objects and surfaces through a variety of fabrication methods such as painting, 3D printing, injection molding etc.
