Abstract
In one example a input device for an electronic device comprises a first panel comprising an array of pressure sensors, a second panel comprising an array of apertures in fluid communication with the pressure sensors, and a controller comprising logic, at least partly including hardware logic, to receive a plurality of output signals from the plurality of pressure sensors, determine, from the plurality of output signals, a location of an input on the second panel, and generate a data point on a bitmap corresponding to the location of the input on the second panel. Other examples may be described.

- and
- a controller comprising logic, at least partly including hardware logic, to:
- receive a plurality of output signals from the plurality of pressure sensors;
- determine, from the plurality of output signals, a location of an input on the second panel;
- and
- generate a data point on a bitmap corresponding to the location of the input on the second panel.
An input device for an electronic device, comprising:
- a first panel comprising an array of microphones;
- a second panel comprising an array of boots in fluid communication with the microphones;
- and
- a controller comprising logic, at least partly including hardware logic, to:
- receive a plurality of output signals from the plurality of pressure microphones;
- determine, from the plurality of output signals, a location of an input on the second panel;
- and
- generate a data point on a bitmap corresponding to the location of the input on the second panel.
A computer program product comprising logic instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium which, when executed by a processor, configure the processor to:
- receive a plurality of output signals from a plurality of sensors on a panel;
- determine, from the plurality of output signals, a location of an input on the panel;
- and
- generate a data point on a bitmap corresponding to the location of the input on the panel.
