Abstract
Devices are described herein that include an electrode having a thickness to, among other things, facilitate tracking. For example, the thickness of an electrode that is included in a device may be configured to cause a midpoint of a projection of the electrode on a sensor matrix to track a point on the device (or on a portion thereof, such as the electrode) that is closest to the sensor matrix. In another example, the thickness may be configured to cause a location of the electrode that is detected by the sensor matrix to track a point on the device (or on a portion thereof, such as the electrode) that is closest to the sensor matrix.
