Proximity Sensor Kiosk Peripherals

Proximity sensors detect the presence of kiosk users, and can thus serve two important purposes when integrated into a kiosk. First, they can detect an approaching kiosk user and launch an audio/video greeting, making a kiosk even more interactive. Even more importantly, proximity sensors can detect when a kiosk user walks away from a kiosk, which is useful for automatically logging users out of secure applications. When a user walks away, a proximity sensor triggers commands to close a kiosk's browser. This in turn clears the cache, removes cookies, and sends the kiosk back to its attract mode. With a configurable range of 1.5 to 5 feet, proximity sensors are particularly useful for banking, e-commerce and HR applications, where privacy concerns are paramount.
