Nodes Documentation
Circuit Touch

Node that turns the Arms, Legs or Horn into a circular touch sensor. It detects when a weak current flows from the front to pad to Ground. (Ground can be the Left Eye or the back pad). Because it’s so sensitive, the current can flow trough your body or anything else that has water in it or is made from a conductor, like metal. To activate the sensor, simply pinch the arm that you choose as place.

Comment
There are a lot of creative ways to use the Circuit Touch. You can for instance use crocodile clips or conductive tread to extend it out, and the current can easily travel through the bodies of several people. You actually can make a touch interface out of your friends! Graphite is also conductive enough for you to draw a touch interface with a pencil.
