Large-area proximity sensors

A unique feature of the SensFloor technology is large-area proximity sensing which is based on a measurement algo-rithm developed by Future-Shape. Arbitrary conductive materials can be used as sensor areas which detect an approach from a distance of several centimeters. The challenge is to filter off external electromagnetic perturbations which inevitably influence large-area sensor surfaces. Sensor areas can be metallic surfaces, conductive textiles, woven or stitched wires or conductively coated glass or foils. The adaptation to the different materials, sensor geometries and required sensitivity levels is done automatically. By evaluating multiple sensor areas a contactless detection of movement and hand gestures is possible.

The number of possible applications of large-area proximity sensing is virtually infinite. We gladly develop your customized solution from the conception to a complete prototype.
