Proximity Sensing

Proximity sensing technology enables users to interact with consumer electronics without even touching them. With this powerful technology, sensors in a devices—such as PC notebook, PC peripheral, or digital photo frame—sense the presence of a user’s hand and take action. These sensors can illuminate LEDs for discoverable buttons, wake devices from power-saving mode immediately, or activate other functionality.

Why choose it?

  • Interface Design Opportunities—Proximity sensing brings a new mode of interaction to intelligent devices.
  • More Compelling Use—Proximity sensing is smart. Presence detection brings interactivity to a new level.
  • Customization—OEMs benefit from many design options.
  • Efficiency—Proximity sensing can prolong the battery life of a device.
