1. A touch and hover sensing device comprising: multiple sensors configured to detect a first object touching the device and a second object hovering over the device concurrently; and a touch and hover control system configured to: measure capacitance at one or more of the sensors, the measured capacitance including both a first measurement associated with the touching object and a second measurement associated with the hovering object; compensate for the effects of the touching object by filtering from the measured capacitance the first measurement associated with the touching object, thereby creating a compensated measured capacitance, and identify a hover event using the compensated measured capacitance.
