Since they're so thin, they create a very faint (negligible) shadow. For our application it didn't really matter since the shadow (when you notice it) appears as a thin window pane. Good luck w/ your project, would love to see/hear how it works out! @Steve — the electrodes are indeed wire, 30 gauge (wire-wrap), w/ the insulation still on, attached directly to the acrylic by tension, w/ fasteners on either end.

I'm working on a similar capacitive touch piece with backlit acrylic panels (mine are much larger, so will probably be a lot more finicky) Maybe I missed it, but regarding the touch electrodes, what exactly are they? Wire? or something else? Also, are the electrodes attached directly to the acrylic? and did they create a shadow at all on the backlit acrylic? Thanks Cool project.
