Abstract: A system and method for providing a virtual reality game controller with improved functionality by providing capacitive touch and proximity sensors on the controller to enable additional feedback to the user such that interaction with a physical object such as a game controller may be translated into interaction with a virtual tool in a virtual environment such as providing a visual indication in the virtual environment that a finger or thumb is approaching a button of a physical game controller.

Abstract: A system and method for using changes in capacitance between two or more conductive elements to detect a magnitude of stylus tip pressure, degree of rotation and movement, using a change in capacitance between alternative layers of conducting and insulating materials that are disposed in an elastomeric stylus tip and deformed to cause a change in capacitance, using a conductive element that is disposed in the stylus tip and passing into the stylus body and then measuring a deflection of the conductive element from a centered position when the stylus tip is deformed by using capacitive sensing electrodes disposed on the inner wall of the stylus body or a single proximity sensing capacitive sensor disposed perpendicular to a length of the conductive element.

Abstract: A system and method for detecting and tracking multiple objects on a touchpad or touchscreen, wherein the method provides a new data collection algorithm, wherein the method reduces a calculation burden on a processor performing detection and tracking algorithms, wherein multiple objects are treated as elements of a single object and not as separate objects, wherein the location of the objects are treated as end-points of a single object when two objects are detected, and treated as a perimeter or boundary when more than two objects are detected.
