some very cool features for a capacitive touchscreen

2013-10-24 Thread Sameer Verma
I saw some very cool features in a presentation today at the Internet Archive. The presentation was by Eitenne Mineur, as part o the Books in Browsers 13 event. They are using paper and other simple objects that have kind of conductive patterns to create story platforms, but with interactivity.
