Abstract: Systems and methods for interactive objects including conductive lines are provided. An interactive object may comprise a capacitive touch sensor comprising two or more non-crossing conductive lines that form at least a first conductive line pattern. The first conductive line pattern may comprise a first, second, and third sequence of the two or more non-crossing conductive lines relative to a respective first, second, and third input direction. The interactive object may be configured to detect touch input to the capacitive touch sensor based on a change in capacitance associated with the two or more non-crossing conductive lines, identify at least one of the first, second, or third line sequence based on the touch input to the capacitive touch sensor, and determine a respective gesture corresponding to the first, second, or third sequence of two or more non-crossing conductive lines.

Abstract: An interactive cord can include a plurality of non-conductive lines and a plurality of conductive lines arranged together in a first longitudinal portion to form a touch-sensitive area within a first longitudinal portion of the interactive cord. A non-touch-sensitive area can be formed in a second longitudinal portion such in which the plurality of conductive lines is not exposed along an outer surface of the outer layer. The plurality of conductive lines can be arranged together with the one or more of the plurality of non-conductive lines within a third longitudinal portion. The second longitudinal portion can be arranged between the first longitudinal portion and the third longitudinal portion with respect to a longitudinal direction of the interactive cord.
