nearproximity
Nearproximity is a term used in sensor technology to describe ultra-short-range detection and interaction between devices or users and devices. It refers to sensing at very close distances, typically within a few centimeters to a few decimeters. The concept is a subset of proximity sensing, emphasizing near-field sensing to enable contactless inputs, context awareness, and power-saving behaviors.
Technologies commonly associated with nearproximity include capacitance sensors, infrared proximity sensors, and ultrasonic sensors. Capacitance sensors
Applications of nearproximity sensing span consumer electronics, robotics, and human–machine interfaces. In mobile devices, nearproximity sensing
Challenges and considerations include sensitivity to material properties, coatings, moisture, and environmental conditions, which can affect
