| contents | DuoTouch is a passive attachment for capacitive touch panels that adds tangible input while minimizing content occlusion and loss of input area. It uses two contact footprints and two traces to encode motion as binary sequences and runs on unmodified devices through standard touch APIs. We present two configurations with paired decoders: an aligned configuration that maps fixed-length codes to discrete commands and a phase-shifted configuration that estimates direction and distance from relative timing. To characterize the system's reliability, we derive a sampling-limited bound that links actuation speed, internal trace width, and device touch sampling rate. Through technical evaluations on a smartphone and a touchpad, we report performance metrics that describe the relationship between these parameters and decoding accuracy. Finally, we demonstrate the versatility of DuoTouch by embedding the mechanism into various form factors, including a hand strap, a phone ring holder, and touchpad add-ons. |
