Gesture Recognition Sensor

This sensor is able to detect 9 distinct gestures like up, down, forward, backward, rotating, to use as an input for your project. Check out all gesture possibilities in the features below.

The module has a normal and game mode that can read your gestures at a different speed. The detection distance is 10 cm and the ambient light immunity is <100k lux. This module has a 12C interface that is easy to interface with microcontroller boards.
