When custom-printing tangibles, keep in mind that 3-point tangibles work the best. Only add more points once the 3-point patterns have been exhausted.
4 or more point tangibles can use 3-point pattern subsets, so when training those, increase the
Conflict Delay variable to allow the engine time to look for the 4th point. Other variable values can also be edited to allow for a better result (i.e. sensitivity).
We recommend weighting the tangibles as well as using our
conductive felt pads on the feet of the tangibles to allow for better contact with the table and better overall recognition. The felt pads allow the tangibles to easily glide across the touch table which reduces skipping and the possibility of a lost tangible.
Make sure the tangible is weighted evenly and does not wobble. All feet need to make contact with the table in order to be recognized as a pattern.
The feet of the tangible need to be a certain distance apart in order to recognize them as different touch points, so don't place the feet right next to each other. More details about the measurements can be found here.
