Abstract
Embodiments are generally directed to modular wall systems. Such modular wall systems include a modular frame, one or more tiles attached to the modular frame, a decorative panel positioned between at least one of the tiles and an inter-connected conductive plate, and conductive plates that are configured to hold an electrical potential and detect an electrical capacitance through the decorative panel at an identified position on the conductive plate when touched. In another embodiment, a modular wall system includes a modular frame, tiles attached to the modular frame, conductive plates that have pockets formed therein, and an inductive plate disposed in the pocket of the conductive plate. As such, the inductive plate provides a hidden switching location that, when activated, triggers transmission of a signal to a specified destination.
