The RGB and Gesture Sensor is a small breakout board with a built in APDS-9960 sensor that offers ambient light and color measuring, proximity detection, and touchless gesture sensing. With this RGB and Gesture Sensor, you are able to control a computer, microcontroller, robot, and so on. It is the same sensor as Samsung Galaxy S5 uses and it is probably one of the best gesture sensors with this price on the market.

APDS-9960

It has many functions, including gesture detection, approaching detection, digital ambient light sensing and so on. It uses an 8-pin package and can be a digital RGB, an ambient light, a short range or a gesture sensing equipment. The device has many ports compatible with I2C, in different colors: red, green, blue, clear (RGBC). The short range and the gesture sensing have infrared LEDs. RGB and ambient light sensing can detect the intensity of light under many light conditions, through many vibration-absorptive materials and the deep tinted window. Besides, integrated UV-IR blocking filter can sense the ambient light and correlated colour temperature accurately.
