Fixing Apple Watch “Ghost Touches” #Wearable Wednesday « Adafruit Industries – Makers, hackers, artists, designers and engineers!


– 

Charlie Brown famously had no touch at all with regards to becoming a ghost. His clumsy hands led him to doing a real Charlie Brown to his annual halloween efforts, which led to a costume that looked more like Swiss cheese than a friendly ghost. A ghost failure of that sort might come in real handy to owners of Apple Watches. Wonderful wearable thought they are, Apple Watches are subject to “ghost touches.” Here’s more from Warable:
