    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter refers to a method and device for low latency multipoint control and detection applied to, for example, a capacitive grid. The grid includes or consists of a series of conductive microfilaments, placed between two transparent plates or layers, arranged in interconnected rows and columns forming a matrix. The electromagnetic field reading enables the detection of objects which are in the vicinity of or in contact therewith. The disclosed subject matter shows high sensitivity enabling the detection of electrically-loaded air and/or vapour, more specifically the detection of intensity, direction and location of an expelled air or vapour mass, also providing a simultaneous touch detection. The disclosed subject matter is useful in boosting interaction capacities between systems and users, the invention being also possibly applied in detection/interaction systems (either simultaneous, or not).
