A gesture recognition sensor module capable of detecting nine distinct hand gestures including directional swipes, rotation, and waving. The module communicates via I²C and features both normal and game modes for different gesture speed sensitivities, making it a versatile input device for interactive projects.

With a detection distance of up to 10 cm and ambient light immunity up to 100k lux, the sensor works reliably in a variety of lighting conditions. Connect via the standard 5-pin header to any 5 V microcontroller.
