Proximity sensors: safe parking with Android?
May 2nd
We got a mail from an Android phone owner who’d like to use his device in an obstacle detection system. His own particular needs required this solution to work in the traffic too, but here reaction spans have to be very short and dedicated devices are surely a better choice. However this request was interesting enough to make us wonder a bit about it. Here are our results.
Proximity sensor: what is it? what is it for?
Dec 11th
One of the most frequent questions we’re asked is “what’s a proximity sensor? what is it used for in a smartphone?”. If I’m in the right mood I generally answer that, if you put your device on the windshield of your car, it will help you mantaining a safe distance from the preceeding car.
Obviously I immediately say I’m just joking, because I don’t want anyone’s life on my coscience. Nonetheless technically a car proximity sensor works just the same as the one in your phone.
