Holy shit. The usability for Lighting controls in homes is awe-inspiring. Think about homes of the future using this for essentially every control it has. Switches will be something people mock in the near future if we adopt this technology and it turns out to be reliable. This is insane and I can't believe I never thought of it.
Yeah awe-inspiring because the grounding and bonding section of the electrical code book isn't complex enough without conductive material plastered all over the walls.
"Hey Bob?" "yeah?" "you really think we should coat the entire wall in this stuff when all the guy wants is a light switch that's 2 inches x 2 inches?" "OFCOURSE! HOW ELSE DO YOU SUPPOSE WE DO IT STUPID?!?"
Hey I'm just saying that I don't think using a grounding shunt as a switch for everything in a house where it's operating around other voltages and electromagnetic interference is as simple as just painting it on the wall.
why'll I do think that it would be really cool as a light switch, as I understand it any touch sensitive surface will be constantly be using energy to power, even when it's not being utilized.
The possibilities! O_0 Like a great way for the visually impaired to safely navigate an unfamiliar building during an emergency by touching the walls to get their bearings and be given directions.
This is really awesome! I bet it will become a real input devices technology breakthrough some day. Are you going to publish your source-code or may be some simple project / tutorial? Would love to see those :) Thanks for your hard work!
SHOW THIS VIDEO TO MATTHEW BELLAMY (MUSE) NOW. He'll probably love the concept of his guitar being an entire controller, as he already ues a custom guitar with built-in controller pad for weird sound effects!
can you explain a bit more about the examples at 0:29 and 3:31 ? a slight bit of latency when turning on and off a light is ok, but not for time sensitive things like controlling guitar effects or music. is there any plan to improve this? also, would the guitar pickups not pickup the interference from this circuit?
Great question! The latency that you see is mostly due to a "smoothing" process that we apply to the signal, primarily for the purpose of visualization. This can be adjusted depending on your application. Our sensors can go up to 180FPS, which offers a ton of flexibility!
Yes, but the more you move the more it's clearer to the microcontroller where your finger was. But definitely more electrodes means a more precise sensitivity from the first few touches.
Это очень круто! Разные интересные штуки можно реализовать на этой основе. Интересно. Под лаком, пластиком или стеклом будет работать сенсор? И какие ограничения (как долго держится слой, можно ли перекрашивать, проливать воду, температурные ограничения, царапины, на какой материал (дерево, металл, пластик, резина, кожа) можно наносить краску)?
The basic challenge with these kinds of things is to discriminate between the effects of touch and all the noise in the environment - of which there is a bucket load. In the past touch sensors used to be quite unreliable, of course we are now used to capacitive touch screens that work very well, but they have a nice controlled environment (sandwiched under glass). This seems much harder...
The paint stays nicely on the steering wheel. We actually took the steering wheel to a research conference and demonstrated it to 3000+ attendees. There was no detectable damage on the coating even after the conference.

2:40 - I never understand why companies that come up with this cool tech use the oldest shittiest phone they can find for the demo. Use a phone everyone is familiar with lol.
4:57 Oh I would love this on my sim racing wheel so that I can see my hands properly in VR
Jux43i Dude good idea

Dude! How is this NOT in everything yet?! That's amazing!
Im gonna show this to my instructors to approve it as a project in some courses!
Innovative 10/10
That's absolutely magnificent! Such a great work, guys!
Don't you see what you have done here?
You have developed a skin that allows robots to feel touch.
make it pressure sensitive!
Amazing! The future is already here!
This is really awesome! I bet it will become a real input devices technology breakthrough some day.
Are you going to publish your source-code or may be some simple project / tutorial? Would love to see those :)
Thanks for your hard work!
Oh the crazy midi controllers I would build with this. Hope we see this on the market in the near future.
Bravo for the use-cases. Add the peripheral projection on to the jello-brain, and you have a very nice educational tool.
i LOVE this Concept💗 The POSSIBILITES R ENDLESS🐸
It's on the market already??? What would be the price??? This is crazy, it's amazing congrats
This could make anything into a MIDI controller!! amazing

Hi Gierad Laput! Amazing work on this! Do you have any detailed instructables so I can try to build one myself ?
Our paper contains most of the detail that will get you up to speed. If you need more assistance, feel free to shoot an email!
180fps sounds great! ill check that out that paper so. thanks for the replies
Thanks for sharing! I'll take a look at the paper! =D
Fantastic work!
Amazing work! What programming language did you use to visualize your demos? :)
Does increasing the electrodes increase the sensitivity of the touch area allowing a smaller area to be detected?
Yes, but the more you move the more it's clearer to the microcontroller where your finger was. But definitely more electrodes means a more precise sensitivity from the first few touches.
Cool! Thanks
Wow that's awesome. Congratulations on such great product.

Looking forward to this, keep up the good work
Great idea. Is it psssible to combine it with iobroker and the shelly switches?
Have you considered systems immunity to EMI? Did you get any ghost touch during your experiment with no touch present? Thank you
That is outstanding!
where can we buy it?
the example at 5:40 is worth millions I hope this you guys have a patent or one in process
Amazing work

Can this be used for making a 3D "scan" of the sprayed object?
How do invest in this company?
It's not a company, it's a group of researchers at Carnegie developing dope shit.
wont the paint rub off on to your hands ? especially from the steering wheel ?
The paint stays nicely on the steering wheel. We actually took the steering wheel to a research conference and demonstrated it to 3000+ attendees. There was no detectable damage on the coating even after the conference.
Super cool!
very impressive!
It's useful and great invention!
amazing!!! really interesting work!
Amazing Innovation. It will revoanlize the touch applications.
is there any testing on how long and under which conditions the coating stays active?
Brilliantly!
Amazing tech-demo, although I do detect latency issues. So the gamepad isn't ideal, atm.
I'm interested in kits and software to increase my smart home abilities
This is amazing.
Awesome!
There seems to be quite a bit of the delay. Is this something you think will get a lot better?
As previously answered by Gierad, the latency that you see is mostly due to a "smoothing" process for visualization. This can be adjusted depending on your application. Our sensors can go up to 180FPS, which offers a ton of flexibility.
Can I invest in this technology. Like $20 for 0.00001%?
any stock options?
Very Very Cool
What's up with the extreme input lag though?
Is there any way to build something similar with an Arduino? Maybe using some high-res ADCs?
Yes. It is possible to use Arduino with some external high-speed ADCs. Our ADC sampling rate is 4MHz. In terms of resolution, 12-bit is good enough.
Why do you need such fast ADC, that is very fast!
This is awesome!!
Game Changer!
The next Big Thing will change world.
you are going to make so much money $$$
Okay, this is WILD!
very genius, much future
what is the software used on the computer at 1:47?
so creative
That's AMAZING 😍😍😍😍😍
excelente, but the command delay can be a bit annoying
What's the latency?
Do you have arduino code somewhere?
Is it possible for you to share the firmware code ?
Damn. When I first read about this I thought it was a paintable screen. Guess we got to wait on that.
Is this real? It would be so cool
so basically..I could 3d model a pair of tom toms and, with Electrick, plug them in to my computer and play them? Sign me up
wow
So... Where can I invest my $1 so I can get 10000% return in a few years time?
Advice: Invest your money here, I'm a control engineer
Close to full life in space...Next be liquid monitor from spray!...Only need made optical nano granules and electronic glue....
That's SMOrc not Yoda.
Amazing tech, from amazing minds...
Take that, RELIGION! :D
uh what is this black magic
Cool. However the latency, unless improvable, makes this outdated.
why?
I know you want to show it as it is cheap, it is not, it is very expensive to produce.
6:51 LOL
DON'T TOUCH MY NOSE
:)
awesome technology, but this guy articulates really weird...
That guitar tone was just awful. Cool video nevertheless.
2:40 - I never understand why companies that come up with this cool tech use the oldest shittiest phone they can find for the demo. Use a phone everyone is familiar with lol.
They didn't use an IPhone, how dare they!
are you fucking high? or are you just a generic spoiled little shit?
where can i buy this?
