1. A sensor comprising:

  • a first knitted conductive textile plane, a second conductive textile plane, and an intermediate separating plane penetrable by the first knitted conductive textile plane to allow the first conductive textile plane and the second conductive textile plane to make electrical contact under a mechanical interaction;

    the intermediate separating plane defines the structural perimeter of each of a plurality of apertures from which the first knitted conductive textile plane deforms towards the second conductive textile plane under a mechanical interaction;

    wherein;

    the first knitted conductive textile plane has conductive yarn knitted to form a repeating pattern of stitches each comprising a stitch looping portion SLP having a looping portion footprint LPF, the separating plane defines apertures A having an aperture footprint AF, and at least one looping portion footprint LPF is wholly containable within at least one aperture footprint AF.
