Sensacell is an interactive interface technology developed by the Sensacell Corporation. Described by the company as a “Modular Sensor Surface,” Sensacell was designed to provide a wide variety of large-scale interactive display applications. A Sensacell surface functions as an interactive touchscreen display, but on a large-scale framework. Individual, tile-like modules—each containing LED (Light-emitting diode) lighting and capacitive sensors—are connected in an open-ended array. As the sensors can read through solid materials, Sensacell networks may be installed within common structural and architectural components, enhancing its configurative flexibility and durability. == Technology == The Sensacell system consists of an array of individual input/output modules, or “tiles.” Each module typically contains a combination of capacitive sensors to collect input, and LED lighting to provide output. The tiles are designed to fit within a 6” square grid,〔LEDsmagazine.com, 2.2008: “PRODUCT FOCUS: Sensacell incorporates LEDs in interactive sensor and lighting system” - http://www.ledsmagazine.com/news/3/2/28〕 and are currently produced in three different configurations: HSI64-36-Monochrome (single-color LEDs ); HSI64-36-RGB (full-color LEDs ); S61-49-White (white LEDs ). A constructed surface essentially functions as a multi-touch touchscreen, but with additional capabilities due to the nature of the capacitive sensors used in the tiles. The sensing electrodes can detect, without physical contact, persons and objects moving in proximity to the surface, to a distance of 150 mm. The ability to detect proximity provides a third variable of user input. A traditional touchscreen collects information on the two-dimensional plane of the surface itself; a “touch” or other input is translated into x-axis and y-axis coordinates on a Cartesian grid. Sensacell surfaces can track the relative distance of an object, adding a three-dimensional, or z-axis coordinate, data object that can be captured and processed. Additionally, the capacitive sensors used can detect through solid materials without performance degradation. This allows Sensacell networks to be housed in common, durable architectural materials; any surface from a panel, floor, wall, an entire room or more can be made into an integrated interactive display. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sensacell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
