Capacitive sensing applications

Capacitive sensing detects changes in electrical charge to identify touch or proximity without physical contact. It’s used in smartphones for touchscreens, enabling you to tap or swipe to control your device. Beyond electronics, capacitive sensing is found in touch-sensitive elevator buttons, security systems that recognize a hand’s presence, and smart home controls that respond to a user’s touch or proximity. This technology allows for intuitive, contactless interaction, improving user experience and enabling innovative applications across various industries by accurately sensing human presence or motions without physical switches or buttons.
