1. An apparatus comprising:
a housing attachable to a computing device, the computing device having, on at least one first surface, both a first area implementing a touch-sensitive display and a second area that is not a touch-sensitive display; a light-emitting element disposed in the housing, the light-emitting element configured to transmit at least a portion of light along a path that is substantially parallel to, and in close proximity with, the first surface of the computing device and which crosses over the second area; a light-receiving element disposed in the housing, the light-receiving element configured to detect whether the at least a portion of light transmitted from the light-emitting element has been received; a detector system coupled to the light-receiving element, the detector system generating an output signal indicating whether or not light from the light-emitting element is detected as received by the light-receiving element; and a communication interface coupled to the computing device to communicate the output signal to the computing device. |
