1. A force imaging touch pad, comprising: a first layer having a first plurality of conductive traces oriented in a first direction on a first surface thereof; a second layer having a second plurality of conductive traces oriented in a second direction on a first surface thereof; and a deformable dielectric membrane juxtaposed between the first and second layers, wherein the first and second plurality of conductive traces are adapted to create a capacitance image when a force is applied to the first layer, the capacitance image indicative of an intensity of the applied force.
