Other than downloading the games and updates, the device is fully functional offline.

Sure, a modular system would work as you suggest.

It is not a requirement to provide a conductive path to the person though. The patterns (glyphs as we call them) are detected and tracked regardless of whether they are being touched. However, when there is a conductive path to the person, the system detects that which provides another input vector.

The Unity SDK is C# and slots right into the typical Unity patterns for touch input.

Two contact types are provided: Finger – Representing a single touch point, e.g, a finger Glyph – Representing a tangible object

For each contact, you get ID, Position, and Phase. For Glyphs, you also get orientation and touched status, as in the system knows whether the object is being touched or not. There tunable parameters for the tracking system as well.

For event systems (e.g., menus, etc), BoardUIInputModule in provided in place of Unity's default InputSystemUIInputModule.
