The INTACT platform enables the instant addition of interactivity to any 3D printed object, with the aim of enriching and enhancing the interaction design process. This is achieved by eliminating the need to incorporate potentially obstructive sensor technologies. Using a system of force sensing combined with a digital model of the object the system is capable of detecting a single touch, its position and the corresponding force of that touch anywhere on the object.
