Touch eventually "Equalizes"

One of the more problematic and unexpected findings with my project was discovered shortly before having to present it at the Live Image Processing show on Friday, April 29th. This was when I discovered that the touch sensors eventually stop sending a signal to the PIC chip, even when held. Since my project's interaction was supposed to depend on whether the touch sensors are being held or not, this came as quite a disappointment, and I had to alter the Jitter Patch to compensate for it. Today, I spoke with a representative at Digikey who informed me that the human charge and the touch sensor's charge "eventually equalizes," meaning that purchasing another kind of touch sensor will not solve the problem. Thus, I have to alter the interface similar to what I did for the Live Image Processing show, in the sense that touch triggers the videos, which will eventually expire (through a timer prompted by Jitter when touched) if one does not continue to caress the hair intermittently throughout the experience. Additionally, I have decided to splice the videos into smaller bits for this reason as well as for conceptual reasons, listed previously.
