My First experience with Neonode zForce AIR sensor.
It was really easy to set up and get going - seems like a great option to replace a panel of buttons/switches with just one sensor, which has no moving parts (hence less option for failure).
So far best suggestion is to make a jog/control panel for my CNC out of it - let me know if you have other suggestions in the comments.

Really interesting tech! Really nice! 😀

[@JamesSleeman]

Wow, that's some cool tech

[@luchoescobar]

THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO MATE!! You’re the man!!

[@luchoescobar]

Have you find an interesting application for this device?? Like a connecting to a raspberry pi to arduino??

[@randomtronic]

Not yet, but definitely will. I am just short of time recent weeks and got behind with different projects. I will get to it eventually. I feel bad for this one in particular, because it really has some cool potential. The time will come though!

[@stephenorford9765]

​@@randomtronic I'd love to get it working for a magic mirror on a Pi3. Any tips?

[@visualchallenge2413]

Interesting video

[@Augmented_AI]

Are you able to pinch to zoom with two fingers?

[@ericlachance2254]

any ideas on how i would use it to replace the buttons of a speaker. IE changing the song or volume by moving my finger across a surface in a specific direction

[@lokeshbhamare7283]

Is it able to sense Single finger tip position when multiple finger are in use by this Sensor.

[@muellerhans]

Have you found that graphic tablet thing?

[@supernova8962]

I wish people would use more of this...I have shares on this ....lol

[@sofa-lofa4241]

How far away from the bar will it still track? Is there a definite cut off point or does it get a bit sketchy before it stops tracking?

[@randomtronic]

It's approx 0.75 of the length of the sensor

[@jacktheripper6716]

reminds me of the Wii sensor bar that used infra red

[@randomtronic]

Does look like one indeed. But Wii bar has only 2 IR LEDs inside, nothing else. All the magic happens in the remote.

[@AshokKumar21]

Hey quick question is it 90° or 0°?

[@CaptainXLAB]

Make that available in different sizes, put it under your monitor. Makes the monitor touchscreen. Sadly, doesnt come for larger sizes :/

[@station240]

Couldn't you use it to turn a normal LCD monitor into a touchscreen ?

[@randomtronic]

You could do that indeed. You need the right size sensor for the monitor size, at that's it. Even the software is ready made!

[@PeterGalastar]

that is what they mainly sell it for, but people are doing lots of interesting things with these

[@browaruspierogus2182]

How much did it cost?

[@randomtronic]

One like this is about £55 from digikey

[@qmriis]

2 years no update feelsbadman

[@randomtronic]

Life has its funny ways - lots of changes happened. It's all on track though, back to where it should be.
