  <p>I'd like the LEGO app brick (<a href="http://brickset.com/sets/containing-part-6103777" rel="nofollow">http://brickset.com/sets/containing-part-6103777</a>) to register a touch on a touch screen even if I'm not touching the brick. I'd like to put a LEGO construction with such bricks at the bottom on the screen, and register a touch event.</p>
  
  <p>Is that at all possible?</p>

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2016-03-18)
  
  This may not be entirely LEGO-related, but more related to touch screen technology.
  
  I'd like the LEGO app brick (<http://brickset.com/sets/containing-part-6103777>) to register a touch on a touch screen even if I'm not touching the brick. I'd like to put a LEGO construction with such bricks at the bottom on the screen, and register a touch event.
  
  Is that at all possible?

  If you are planing on physically touching the brick that will then touch the screen then you could use a trick similar to that used by [capacitive gloves](http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/B0069IUZPM)
  
  There just needs to be a conductive medium between your finger and the screen so you could add a thin strip of copper tape or anything metallic to bridge the gap between your finger and the touch screen that is created by the insulation of the plastic brick.
