The Grid-EYE sensors from Panasonic are designed for proximity detection by an IR array sensor. This compact package features and 8 x 8 IR sensor array.
Grid-EYE high precision sensors are based on advanced MEMS technology. They utilise a grid of IR sensors to detect the heat (IR rays) of the human body and other objects. The size of detection on the grid also determines the distance between the person and the sensor. For example, the smaller the detected area, the further away the person is and the larger the detected area, the closer the person is.

Product Applications
Grid-EYE sensors are designed to work in applications to improve function and to save energy. They can be used for detection of human activity for air conditioning and lighting within an office or home environment. Alternatively they are ideal for sensing people at automatic doors and elevators.
