Kyle Campiotti: Force Sensing in Consumer Electronics

Abstract: 
Force sensing can provide tactile information to enhance human-machine interactions in a number of applications. This talk will provide examples of force sensing techniques utilized in consumer electronics, practical challenges in implementing those techniques, and solutions to overcome technical barriers. I will show how first principles physics is utilized in solving sensing problems and applied to my work in industry.
