摘要

This study presents an innovative approach to developing capacitive touch and proximity sensors by utilizing a pencil to draw interdigitated capacitors (IDCs) on non-conductive construction materials such as cement, cement fiberboard, stone, and brick. Moving beyond flexible substrates like paper, this work focuses on rigid materials, achieving a linear resistance of approximately 22 Ω/cm on cement. The sensors demonstrate high responsiveness making them suitable for real-time Human-Building Interaction (HBI) applications. Additionally, the sensor exhibits a sensitivity of about 0.04 pF/cm in proximity sensing, highlighting its effectiveness in multi-sensory applications. This low-cost, eco-friendly fabrication method has significant potential to transform HBI use cases by offering a practical, durable solution for constructing touch-sensitive walls and other interactive surfaces.
