Abstract

A system and method for using changes in capacitance between two or more conductive elements to detect a magnitude of stylus tip pressure, degree of rotation and movement, using a change in capacitance between alternative layers of conducting and insulating materials that are disposed in an elastomeric stylus tip and deformed to cause a change in capacitance, using a conductive element that is disposed in the stylus tip and passing into the stylus body and then measuring a deflection of the conductive element from a centered position when the stylus tip is deformed by using capacitive sensing electrodes disposed on the inner wall of the stylus body or a single proximity sensing capacitive sensor disposed perpendicular to a length of the conductive element.
