by detecting changes in capacitance when you touch a conductive
layer of paint, although if that’s the case, it surprises me that they
think it will work reliably through a layer of another paint. It COULD be working by induction, or by detecting your electronic shadow
in some part of the RF spectrum, but in either of those cases,
I’d expect there to be problems with false detections due to cell
phones and the like. Maybe that’s why they haven’t brought it to
market, yet.
