I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...

Electronic enthusiasts may be interested in a new open source infrared sensor which has been created to support both Raspberry Pi and Arduino powered projects. The IR Detector proximity sensor has ...

Proximity sensors detect objects without physical contact. Most proximity sensors emit an electromagnetic field or beam and look for changes in the field. The object being sensed is called a target.

Sensor manufacturer Ams launched this week a new in-display ambient light and proximity sensor solution for smartphones equipped with OLED displays which essentially makes those modules invisible.

Understanding acoustic feedback in hearing aids. Power consumption challenges in hearing aids. Functionality integration and its impact on energy consumption. The benefits of using photoreflectors for ...

Time-of-flight (ToF) sensors open up new application areas and use cases for proximity sensing and presence detection technologies, and these sensors can add valuable functionalities and intelligence ...

The new W10 photoelectric proximity sensor from Sick has four variants, which differ in their operating distances and mounting options. The W10 features a touchscreen interface and three ...

Today, most modern Android devices are kitted out with a bunch of sensors. You can use this information in lots of different ways – whether it’s monitoring light levels so your application can ...

Self-driving vehicles in Apple's "Project Titan" could reduce the amount of processing required to recognize objects and to understand the layout of the road ahead, using a "confidence" algorithm that ...
