1. A laminated vehicle glazing comprising:
- at least two glazing panes laminated together by at least one interlayer therebetween;
at least one sensor which is manually operable by the presence of a user'"'"'s hand contacting or proximal to at least one of the panes;
at least one electromagnetic shield associated with the at least one sensor to inhibit capacitive interaction between a vehicle user from one of inside and outside of the vehicle into which the glazing may be fitted such that the at least one sensor is manually operable by the presence of a user'"'"'s hand from only one side of the vehicle glazing; and
at least one connector electrically connected to the at least one sensor connectable to an external device for control of the external device by manual operation of the at least one sensor.

29. A laminated vehicle glazing comprising:
-
at least two glazing panes laminated together by at least one interlayer therebetween; at least one sensor which is manually operable by the presence of a user'"'"'s hand contacting or proximal to at least one of the panes; at least one connector electrically connected to the at least one sensor and connectable to an external device for control of the external device by manual operation of the at least one sensor; a visual indicator to indicate the location of the at least one sensor and/or the function of the external device; and at least one electrical illumination device, laminated between the at least two glazing panes, adapted to illuminate the visual indicator and/or to indicate manual operation of the external device, wherein the at least one sensor, the visual indicator and the at least one electrical illumination device are in registry together in a stacked configuration.

30. A laminated vehicle glazing comprising:
-
at least two glazing panes laminated together by at least one interlayer positioned between the at least two glazing panes; at least one sensor manually operable by presence of a user'"'"'s hand contacting or proximal to at least one of the panes; at least one connector electrically connected to the at least one sensor and connectable to an external device to control the external device by manual operation of the at least one sensor; and at least one electromagnetic shield associated with the at least one sensor to inhibit capacitive interaction between a vehicle user from one of inside and outside of the vehicle into which the glazing may be fitted so that the sensor is unidirectionally operational permitting manual operation of the at least one sensor from one side of the vehicle glazing and not permitting manual operation of the at least one sensor from the opposite side of the vehicle glazing.
