Developed as an alternative to passive infrared (PIR) sensors, STMicroelectronics has launched its ultra-low-power STHS34PF80 IR sensor for human-presence and motion detection in alarm and security ...

Some readers may recall building a line-following robot during their school days. Involving some IR LEDs, perhaps a bit of LEGO, and plenty of trial-and-error, it was fun on a tiny scale. Now imagine ...

A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors.

Today’s smartphones are incredible little machines—able to perform the function of ten gadgets within a single compact device. From professional-grade cameras and GPS navigation to automatic display ...

One of the most interesting parts of the Nintendo Switch has gone nearly unused by game developers, including Nintendo, for the first year of the system’s existence. A mind-blowing demonstration ...

STMicroelectronics is launching a human-presence and -motion detector to enhance security systems, home-automation equipment, and IoT devices that typically use passive infrared (PIR) sensing. The ...

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 ...

From self-driving cars to facial recognition, infrared sensors are all around us and our novel semiconductor research is taking this technology to the next level. Phlux - a Sheffield spinout -has ...
