Proximity

  • Proximity means nearness or closeness in time,occurrence,order,space and relationship.
  • Proximity means the state of being near.
  • Proximity means things which are close together and go together.


Proximity sensor :

  • proximity sensor is a sensor able to detect the presence of nearby objects without any physical contact.

Proximity sensor Applications :

  • Position Measurement : capacitive proximity sensor used to identifying metals.


  • Touch Pads : Touch screens and touch pads are the most exceptional application of proximity sensors. These sensors detect the presence of curl of fingers to perform various commands. 

  • Aviation safety : Proximity sensor play a major part in aviation safety like they sense any object around an aircraft in the air or any other sensitive grounded elements. This helps to secure the sensitive objects.

Examples : 

  • The nearness of each image and its corresponding text communicates that they are related to one another.



  • The principle of proximity states that things that are close together appear to be more related than things that are spaced farther apart.
