    Gesture Sensor Operating Plane

    The gesture operation distance is 15 to 30 cm, the farthest cannot exceed 35 cm. Based on Sensor FOV 78.3° (horizontal) and 62.9°(vertical), and the operating area is 48 x 36 cm² at 30 cm.

    In addition to the distance to the sensor, you also need to pay attention to where the sensor is placed. On the front of the sensor, in the upper left corner, there is a small human shape. If you see the figure standing upright, then you have placed it in the correct position. If it is upside down, then it is likely that you will not get an accurate recognition result.

    As background noise may impact the accuracy of gesture recognition, it is recommended to avoid the relative higher reflective background object behind the palm. In normal gesture recognition condition, recommend at least 35cm distance between palm and background.
