Paintable IOT: Scalable sensing
summary
Claims a printed conductive coating plus modest hardware makes large-area capacitive sensors that reliably detects a single droplet over 2×3 m, sense targets from fruit flies to people, and measure presence, location, velocity and acceleration with range up to 1 m. Uses carbon (and optional silver/copper) inks, multi‑layer printed electrode patterns, capacitive and sometimes resistive readouts, demoed Bluetooth connectivity, deployed as tape or pad, and reports 300,000 developer kits sold.
