  1. Based on a demo I saw a while back, I assume this is a 2D sensor with LED illumination - or active 2D - and can detect simple gestures. Essentially a proximity sensor, and the demo seemed okay for simple finger movements.

  2. That is exactly what I said on PMD's demo. They wast a lot of money on the meaningless demo. Such kind of simple device is far enough for the applications shown on Samsung S4 smartphone. Even a 2D sensor is sometime more than necessary. from my point of a quad photodiode is enough for such simple finger movement detection.
