We created this dev-kit to let Arduino projects work with gestures + touch. It came out of the need for a project which required basic hand gestures to work accurately. We tested with proximity and distance-IR sensors but wasn't satisfied with the accuracy and development time required to make it work. We decided to build a dev-kit that uses e-field distortion to detect gestures accurately. We just launched it hoping it might help other hardware hackers looking to add gestures/touch to their projects.

Any chance you'll release how you built this?

looks like its basically just the reference implementation of the MGC3130 chip, with an arduino library for i2c communication.

Great input device! Very cool work.
