Muca: Multi-Touch for Arduino

Muca is an open-hardware maker platform for creating elegant multi-touch surfaces.

Designed for researchers, designers and makers, Muca brings touch interaction to your projects.

Products

Resources to learn and create

Muca software and hardware is open source and easy to use. It makes multi-touch interface accessible to engineers, researchers as well as designers, artists and thinker.

Find the code, examples and various tutorials on how to connect Muca with Arduino.

Made with Muca

Skin-On Interfaces

Our open source electronic promotes sustainable practices by reducing electronic waste and energy consumption.

Robotic Artificial Skin

Our products are designed with a focus on sustainability and social responsibility, creating a positive impact on both people and the planet.

Multi-touch Textile

The conductive yarns can be sewn by a machine and make any textile surface multi-touch. The technology is compatible with other materials.
