Canopy Sensus: World's First Capacitive Touch iPhone Case

Published January 13, 2015

Today at CES Unveiled 2013, we got a demo of the Canopy Sensus, which is the world's first iPhone case to feature capacitive touch capabilities. This allows you to interact with your iPhone by touching parts of it that don't include the screen, allowing you to see a greater portion of the iPhone's display.

With the case on, we saw an arcade game being played by touching the back of the phone. We also saw a drawing app used the same way. The Sensus has touch sensors built into the rear as well as the right side and can handle a maximum of 10 independent touches. It will be compatible with the iPhone 5 as well as the iPhone and iPhone 4S. You'll be able to get it in white, black and red.

Note that applications have to optimized for use with the Sensus, so whether it truly takes off or not when it launches this summer is up to developers. Either way, we're really excited about the possibilities that the Sensus brings to the table.
