Tracks: Optical Sensing & Detection

There is a growing need for improved presence detection methodologies and more options to optimize user interfaces. This case study based session will introduce an optical object and presence detection system that allows for greater range and discrimination than is available today and discusses the tradeoffs to apply this in real world applications. ATTENDEE BENEFITS & TAKEAWAYS: - Detect presence around a control panel to trigger functions such as display backlighting - Use optical object detection and gesture recognition to augment and greatly improve the capabilities of a capacitive display panel - Apply optical object and presence detection to fill the niche between passive infrared and imaging based system for occupancy detection (such as for lighting control) - Learn how to apply optical object detection to robotics and industrial safety applications
