After programming the arduino of the touch sensor and making it transmitting the touch information to the computer, I designed a Python script for plotting the touch (file available)

In this stage, I plotted the touch as a image that updates in realtime as changes in the touch are detected. The force applied during the touch is represented by a reddening of the pixel representing the place where was touched.

In the next stages, we will use the information of the touch to control the stimulation interface and to control other stuff.
