Capacitive marker
Also known as: Capacitive fiducial, Conductive marker
A conductive structure embedded in a physical object that registers as a touch point on a capacitive touchscreen, enabling the device to detect the object's position and orientation without cameras or external sensors. In accessible tactile graphics, capacitive markers printed with conductive filament allow 3D printed overlays to be placed on standard tablets, which then provide context-sensitive audio feedback and visual augmentation as the user explores the tactile surface.
