Abstract

There is provided a sensing device comprising an electromagnetic wave emitter for emitting electromagnetic waves to a surface; an electromagnetic wave detector for detecting the emitted electromagnetic waves that are reflected from the surface; and a force transmitting member configured to transmit a force applied thereto for detection, wherein the force transmitting member is positioned relative to the electromagnetic wave emitter and electromagnetic wave detector to substantially prevent waves emitted by the electromagnetic wave emitter from travelling directly to the electromagnetic wave detector.
