Help choosing a Hand Sensor

I’m looking for suggestions for a sensor component to sense hand movement:

  • Maximum range of about 6" (hard max 8")
  • Angle 45 degrees+
  • Small size (ideally)
  • Auto-insertion (ideally)
  • Qty in thousands (hence availability requirement)
  • Price sensitive

Any pros/cons re. motion / light / heat / etc. for this application?

Thank you!!

Below is a link to our motion sensors for you to look through, and see if any can work in your application:

Hi ziv.

Any more you can tell us about the application? Are you just looking for angle determination, or distance to reference points in space as well? Will the hand be placed on something, or will the user be holding it out in free space? Can they be holding a device to measure rotation?
