Sensors for Interaction

List of Sensors suitable for Interaction, categorized by different aspects:


Interface:

Resistance, voltage, current, capacitance, frequency, digital protocol, pwm, switch, open collector, logic level

Physical effect:

Pressure, Tension, Voltage, Current, Magnetism, Bend / flex, position, length, distance, presence, orientation, light, conductance (resistance), sound pressure, air pressure, fluid pressure, ultrasound, angle, radii (curvature)

Use as interface

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.)

Common Examples

writing: location + pressure mouse: location + digital pressure + wheel


Sensor Physical Electrical
Bend and flex stress or curvature Bending Resistive
Reed switch Magnetism Switch
Photo transistor Light, broad spectrum Transistor, current
Photo diode Light, broad spectrum Diode, reverse current
