What is Bare Conductive?
Bare Conductive stands at the forefront of interactive design, providing tools and resources to fuel creativity and innovation. From the inception of Electric Paint to the development of the Touch Board and accompanying software, the company is dedicated to offering accessible solutions for incorporating electronic interactivity into projects.
With Electric Paint, a non-toxic conductive paint, users can effortlessly create circuits and illuminate LEDs with a simple brushstroke. The Touch Board, featuring capacitive sensing technology, elevates interactivity by turning Electric Paint into touch-sensitive surfaces capable of triggering various outputs, from sounds to animations.
With endless possibilities for creativity and exploration, Bare Conductive empowers individuals of all skill levels to unlock the potential of interactive projects.
How do interactive walls work?
Interactive walls function by integrating graphics with electronics, facilitated by the Interactive Wall Kit and Electric Paint by Bare Conductive. The process involves drilling holes through the chosen material (e.g., plywood), attaching electrode pads to screws, and painting sensors with Electric Paint. These sensors connect to a Touch Board, which enables up to 12 touch points. Once assembled, the Touch Board triggers sound or projection mapping upon touch, offering a versatile platform for interactive installations in various settings like events, exhibitions, or retail displays.

Imagine transforming any surface into an interactive canvas that responds to touch and movement. That’s exactly what the Bare Conductive Interactive Wall Kit offers. This comprehensive kit provides everything you need to create robust and reliable interactive walls and murals, with up to 12 touch points spanning an impressive 10m x 10m area.
How to make an interactive wall?
With Bare Conductive technology, making your own interactive wall has never been easier. All you need to start with is to get a hard material as a base for your wall, such as plywood and the Bare Conductive Interactive Wall Kit, which includes all the hardware you need to get started, including a Touch Board, electrode pads, screws, cables, and more.
Once you know where you want the touch points located, you can drill holes through the wall and push screws through each hole. Then, attach the Electrode Pads to each screw. The next step is painting your graphics using Electric Paint, covering the screw heads. When the paint has dried, it is electrically connected to the Electrode Pad via the screw. With all the graphics done, you can connect everything together: the Touch Board is connected to each Electrode Pad with a shielded cable. And now, you are ready to turn the Touch Board on and turn touch into sound or projection mapping.
