	Capacitive sensors are proximity/touch sensors with a simple principle of operation but complex behavior. Their intrinsic properties make them apt for novel exertion interfaces. Some possible uses include input devices for beat-em-up games, gesture interfaces or enhanced play objects. CapToolKit, an open-source capacitive sensing toolkit makes prototyping novel exertion interfaces easy.
