The new sensor has the ability to detect human presence by detecting the heat radiation. In this way, it is much better at detecting immobile people in a room, office space or in front of a unit, like a computer or a tablet.
The new generation of presence detection is equipped with a so-called thermopile, which is manufactured using nanotechnology. Thermopile is a series of connected thermocouples that can convert thermal energy (heat energy) into electrical energy. They can be used to measure absolute or relative temperature and heat flow. This can in turn be used to detect, for example, movement or presence. Moreover, they are passive and do not consume any energy when not measuring.
