If you’ve been watching Nintendo Switch 2 news like a hawk for the past few weeks, you may have spotted leaks about the new and improved Joy-Con controllers, and wondering just what an IR sensor is.

The motion IR camera was used in the March launch game 1,2, Switch for an eating contest challenge. With the sensor pointed at the player’s face, the system could track the opening and closing ...

In our circuit, the proximity sensor assembly is built from a discrete infrared light emiting diode (LD271-from Siemens/Osram) and a phototransitor (L14F1). A solid-state relay (S201S02-from Sharp) at ...

1-2 Switch Nintendo That may have been for the best, because the Nintendo Switch 2 doesn’t appear to feature IR sensors — or at least not in the same way that they appeared on the original Switch.

The ultra-low power of the MEMS-based ultrasonic sensor enables it to be always on and, after detecting an occupant inside the home, can automatically trigger an alarm or switch on lights. As the ...

If the Switch 2 is indeed missing the IR camera, games that use it will either be unsupported or switch off that functionality. Nintendo Labo, the experimental virtual reality add-on kit, would be ...

Now, thanks to the work of [Jonathan Armstrong] we have such a firmware for the 433 MHz magnetic door and window sensors that you can pick up on AliExpress for $4 USD a piece.

With OmniVision’s OH02A1S image sensor, both IR and RGB images can now be captured using a single chip, allowing the surgeon to switch between high quality RGB and IR in real time, or to display ...

Modern smartphones use proximity sensors for much more than just turning off screens during calls. These advanced sensors, powered by IR emitters and receivers, detect nearby objects like your hand or ...

The sensor can provide 1080p (1920x1080) resolution at 60 frames per second (fps) or 720p (1280x720) at 90 fps, via a 2-lane MIPI serial output. The OH02A1S also integrates 2 kilobits of one-time ...
