ReachClose v2.1.1 (obsolete)

A sensor for waving at your gear. Leave your fans in awe of your magic majestic gestures. Reaches up to 200 cm (79 inch) distance. View, calibrate, record and map the sensor data using our ReachClose software (see below). This sensor combines with almost any of our other sensors. For a demo, see this videoclip (also available in QuickTime) !

Application examples

  1. Measurement of proximity of objects like hands or walls
  2. Great for making that fake Theremin.
  3. Update your keyboard with this handy gadget.
  4. Combine with a TapTiled floor, some MoveOn and/or Advance-645 sensors and make sure every move of your visitor has an effect. The Flash + SeeLaser combo adds a touch of diamond robbery feeling.
  5. Pamper your robot or toy car and combine with GForce2D-2, and Orient to detect approaches to and/or impacts with walls and what have you.
  6. Create a fancy control panel by combining Push sensors (Push, Push2D), Reach sensors (Reach, ReachClose, ReachOn), Slide sensors (Slide-50, Slide, Slide-170, SlideLong, Slide-500, SlideRound, SlideWide), Touch sensors (Touch, TouchMicro-3, TouchMicro-5 TouchMicro-10, TouchMini, TouchMiniOn, TouchStrip) and Turn sensors (Turn, Turn&Spin) to name a few.
