Introduction
   The ZX Distance and Gesture Sensor is a collaboration product with XYZ Interactive. The very smart people at XYZ Interactive have created a unique technology that allows for simple infrared beams to be used to detect an object’s location in two dimensions.
   The ZX Sensor is a touchless sensor that is capable of looking for simple gestures in the air above the sensor (e.g. swipe left or right). Additionally, the sensor can also recognize the distance of an object away from the sensor up to about 10 inches (25 cm), which we will call the “Z” axis, and the location of the object from side to side across the sensor in about a 6 inch (15 cm) span, which we will call the “X” axis.
