Abstract: An object container apparatus includes a housing, a sensor sheet, and one or more computer processors coupled to the sensor sheet. The housing comprises one or more interior surfaces forming a cavity. The sensor sheet is positioned within the cavity and comprises one or more arrays of capacitive touch pads. The one or more arrays of capacitive touch pads are arranged substantially parallel to each other in order to form a space within the cavity where an object can be inserted. The one or more computer processors are coupled to the one or more arrays of capacitive touch pads and configured to process capacitance measurements derived from the one or more arrays of capacitive touch pads. The object container apparatus functions to detect an object in the space via processing of capacitance measurements by the one or more computer processors.
