Capacitive touch through a window to control it #11

Open amcewen opened 8 years ago

For one put inside a window, it'd be interesting to make it more interactive - maybe use capacitive touch pads on the inside of the window to let people control it, without needing anything on the outside of the glass...

Now that we're running Knut as a poetry-battle, we won't need control-through-a-window. Still, this would be a great thing to do sometime in the future (so moving milestone accordingly :-)

Was going to suggest for the glass, not sure how a poetry battle works, but could be behind the board so long as you remember where it is.

Cooler; under a table, if the tabletop wasnt too thick you wouldnt have to touch it just practise and it'd look very cool magically controlling the gondola just waving your hand in the air.
