The SensWear MTCH6102 Touch daughter board adds capacitive touch and proximity interaction capabilities to the SensWear modular platform. Built around the MTCH6102 controller, this module features a 15-channel linear electrode array, enabling high-resolution touch and position sensing across flexible wearable surfaces such as rings, wristbands, and straps. It connects seamlessly to the SensWear mainboard via I²C for low-latency communication and synchronized operation with other sensors.

The linear multi-electrode design enables precise detection of tap, swipe, slide, and press gestures, making it ideal for intuitive user input and control without mechanical buttons. It also supports wear detection, on-body/off-body sensing, and proximity-based activation, enabling context-aware behavior and power-efficient operation.

In research and experimental applications, the touch daughter board enables development of novel human–wearable interaction methods, silent input systems, gesture-based interfaces, and multimodal sensing fusion with physiological and motion data. Compact and low-power, it expands the SensWear ecosystem with scalable and flexible interaction capabilities for next-generation wearable interfaces and experimental human–machine interaction research.
