Abstract
A textile form touch sensor comprises first and second outer conductive layers, and a third layer, intermediate of the first and second layers. The third layer comprises a non-conductive textile coated with a piezoresistive material. In a preferred embodiment, the piezoresistive material is coated on the nonconductive third layer so as to form an arrangement of defined blocks of piezoresistive material, and the first, second and third layers are joined together in a series of straight lines, the lines running in between the defined blocks of piezoresistive material.
