Abstract

A position detector is constructed from fabric having electrically conductive elements. The detector has at least two electrically conductive planes. An electrical potential is applied across one of the planes to determine the position to a mechanical interaction. In addition, second electrical property is determined to identify additional properties of the mechanical interactions.
