Abstract
An interface or control device having one or more sensors and a barrier wherein the one or more sensors are arranged relative to the barrier to be able to detect touch or proximity of a finger on each of two opposite sides of the barrier, the barrier inhibits or provides a touch sensory indication of simultaneous touch or proximity of the finger to sensors or parts of the sensor on opposite sides of the barrier, and the size of the device is such that a finger could simultaneously touch or be near sensors or parts of a sensor on opposite sides of the device in normal use if the barrier were not present.
