The team is currently using five PIR sensors to detect and track the presence of humans in a room. Initial testing has indicated that these sensors are highly dependent of the proximity of the human to the sensors. It was found that the sensors, including the amplification circuits, would saturate and become unstable if a person walked to close to the sensor apparatus. | The team is currently using five PIR sensors to detect and track the presence of humans in a room.
