pressure sensors
The guy at this table seemed annoyed at my being the "4th person" to ask if these were bend sensors. Can you blame me? Anyway, these were very cool. I could press the tip, of either of the left 2 sensors there (which were made of a very thin layer of something I didn't ask about) and watch the red and blue graph lines raise and lower on the monitor to the left of this image. I pressed smoothly and alternately harder and softer with both fingers and made the graphs dance in offset sine waves. It had a very fine resolution (seemingly far greater than 8-bit), no shivering or jumping, and according to Mr. Angsty, were quite durable, having been tested into the millions of presses, with only a very slight decrease in effectiveness, which is easily recalibrated for. They also had a chair loaded up with these things, through which were we treated to a rainbow display of one guy's buttocks pressures, akin to those seen in this buttocks pressures mapping, from the P.E.R.F.E.C.T. workstation. Oddly, the medical field is their biggest market, where they're used, for example, to test for things like blockages in implants.
