This project investigates a new sensor architecture for making
interactive surfaces that are sensitive to human hand and finger
gestures. This sensor recognizes multiple hand positions and their
shapes as well as calculates the distances between the hands and the
surface by using capacitive sensing and a mesh-shaped antenna. In
contrast to camera-based gesture recognition systems, all sensing
elements can be integrated within the surface, and this method does
not suffer from lighting and occlusion problems.
