1. A position detector constructed from fabric having electrically conductive elements incorporated therein, comprising at least a first electrically conductive plane having electrically conductive fibers and electrically insulating fibers incorporated therein, and a second electrically conductive plane, having electrically conductive fibers and electrically insulating fibers incorporated therein, said first conductive plane having at least two electrical connections attached thereto and said second plane having at least two electrical connections attached thereto, whereinan electric potential is applied across at least one of said planes to determine the position of a mechanical interaction;

  • and a second electrical property is determined to identify additional properties of said mechanical interactions.
