Abstract
Some embodiments disclosed herein provide novel approaches for rapidly sensing sense line cross-point interaction in a textile such as a carpet or rug. A textile may comprise transmit and receive sense lines configured so that when an object contacts the textile and depresses one or more transmit lines against one or more receive lines, the object may be detected by monitoring unique signals produced by the transmit sense lines into the receive sense lines to detect the object.
