1. A detector constructed from electrically conducting fabric and configured to present a varying electrical characteristic in response to a mechanical interaction, wherein a first conducting layer is displaced from a second conducting layer such that conduction between said layers results when said layers are mechanically forced together, characterised in that the first of said layers has a plurality of lengths of conductive yarn and a plurality of lengths of non-conductive yarn machined therein, such that at least one length of conductive yarn is electrically isolated from another of said lengths of conductive yarn, said conducting yarns in the first of said layers are electrically grouped to define a plurality of identifiable rows;

  • each said identifiable row has a respective electrical conductor; and

    said identifiable rows define specific regions of the detector.
