Abstract:
The touchpad is a typical 2D gesture detection example of interface devices used on wearable technology. In this work, a textile touchpad based on a diamond pattern design has been developed by using screen-printing technology. In order to obtain the best configuration, two different architectures have been used. Prototypes have been tested by using a specific controller for projected capacitive (pro-cap) technologies. We show a simple device, inexpensive, easy to make and use with textile.
