Abstract
A detector is constructed from fabric having electrically conductive elements to define at least two electrically conducting planes and configured to produce an electrical output in response to a mechanical interaction. A potential is applied across at least one of the planes to determine the position of a mechanical interaction and the second electrical property is determined to identify additional properties of the mechanical interactions. A conductivity non-uniformity is included in at least one of the planes so as to modify an electrical response to a mechanical interaction.
