Abstract: The system includes a touch sensing system in communication with a host. An overlay including one or more actuators is provided for interaction with the touch sensing system. Each actuator includes a touch-generating member which provides a footprint to a touch sensor of the touch sensing system. A configuration module is provided in communication with the host and a configuration file is provided to the configuration module to define attributes of the touch sensing system and to provide an instruction set. Upon initialization of the touch sensing system the attributes defined by the configuration module are applied. Upon activation of the actuator, the footprint provided by the actuator is identified and the instructions of the instruction set associated with the identified footprint are implemented.
