摘要：Implementations of the present disclosure provide a human interface including a light emitter and a pressure sensitive material. The pressure sensitive material has electrical properties configured to vary in relation to an amount of pressure applied thereto. The light emitter is coupled to the pressure sensitive material, wherein variation of the electrical properties of the pressure sensitive material causes variation of at least one illumination characteristic. Advantageously, the pressure sensitive material provides an additional control component allowing bundling of controls in a simpler interface. At the same time, operation of the human interface in low-light or distracted environments is facilitated and rendered more intuitive by incorporation of the light emitter into its operation.

主权项：1. A human interface comprising: a light emitter; a pressure sensitive material having a composition configured to vary electrical properties of the pressure sensitive material in relation to an amount of pressure applied thereto, the light emitter coupled to the pressure sensitive material, wherein variation of the electrical properties of the pressure sensitive material causes variation of at least one illumination characteristic; and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to determine a position of the amount of pressure applied to the pressure sensitive material based on the electrical properties of the pressure sensitive material, and wherein the electrical properties of the pressure sensitive material exhibit a characteristic curve.
