Capacitive touch sensing used for stuff like touch-reactive tablets and phones, as well as control panels for appliances (which is where you may have used it before). This HAT allows you to create electronics that can react to human touch, with up to 12 individual sensors.

The main difference between this and something like the Makey Makey board is that there is no need for a ground wire.
