A mechanism is described for employing and facilitating placing a sensor cover over an external sensor of a computing device. A method of embodiments of the invention includes sensing, at a sensor of a computing device, user touches to an outer surface of an impregnated sensor cover placed over the sensor, wherein the sensor cover includes a plurality of holes through the outer surface and a plurality of conductive leads corresponding to the plurality of holes, and wherein sensing is performed through one or more of the plurality of holes and their one or more corresponding conductive leads; and facilitating an action in response to each of the sensed user touches.
A computing system capable of being used in facilitating outer user touches for performing tasks at the computing device, the computing system comprising:
A method for facilitating outer user touches for performing tasks at a computing device, the method comprising:
A apparatus comprising:
At least one non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
