-== Sensors for Interaction ==
+Sensors can be categorized by many aspects. Intuitively the most unique property of a sensor is what's it obviously detecting. For example everybody would know that a temperature sensor is measuring the physical temperature. And also what an air pressure sensor is made for. In these examples the physical method and our common understanding of the sensor is identical.
-List of Sensors suitable for Interaction, categorized by different aspects:
+However there are also sensors which aren't that obvious. What is a touch screen measuring? Touchscreens are detecting touch, but they are measuring pressure or presence - or even resistance or capacitance. So the touch screen is more an applicance of an other type of sensor.
-=== Interface: ===
+To design electronic devices using a sensor the electric interface of the sensor plays a main role in using- and sometimes also when selecting a sensor. Some are very simple to interface and need almost no effort, while others are very precise and need a special interface.
-=== Physical effect: ===
+All three: application, physical method and electric interface are important - and there may be more properties to categorize sensors.
-=== Use as interface ===
+=== Interfaces ===
-Difficult to classify, thus incomplete:
 location (2d, 3d), eye position, movement, forces and deformation, presence, ambient measurements. switches and buttons. incremental input (rotary or linear sliders, etc.)
