You could record where people walk the most and have a record of where an intruder went if they broke into your house.

I had no idea that separate voltage sources could make multi-touch work I woulda thought you would need to switch between the two inputs.

I think it may also be possible to have isolated circuits which only share the path from their own finger to the corners. I may be corrected on that one, but if they both have isolated voltage sources, I think you can do it.

Not sure how that would work with the other fingers still attached, but I’m sure it’s possible.
This a very cool concept but I can see that reliability of the material might be a little questionable. Depends on the application I supppose

Wait yes Multi-Touch would be possible, in much the way shutter glasses work in 3D applications. I’m sure most readers could understand this concept.
