Seeed Studio Grove Smart IR Gesture Sensor

The Seeed Studio Grove Smart IR Gesture Sensor is an intelligent AI-powered gesture recognition module equipped with an infrared camera sensor and advanced algorithms. It can detect 15+ gestures with wide detection range, supporting both I2C and SPI communication. This module also allows Grove, Type-C, and Seeed Studio XIAO direct connection .

Equipped with a PAG7646J1 infrared camera, a PAG7661QN ISP, and an LED fill light , it recognizes and interprets hand gestures even in dark environments . With a detection range of 540 cm, it provides accurate and reliable gesture recognition for IoT, robotics, smart home, and interactive projects.

Key Features

• Compact AI gesture sensor : 4.3cm 2.1cm board with infrared camera + AI algorithm.
• 15+ gesture detection : Push, pinch, tap, grab, rotation, thumb up/down , static gestures (15 fingers), swipe.
• High compatibility : Works with XIAO series, Grove connector (I2C), SPI, and Type-C for PC display.
• Flexible voltage : Supports 3.3V and 5V systems.
• Wide applications : IoT devices, robotics, smart switches, PPT interaction, music control .

Specifications

Hardware Overview

Notes

• On the back left side is an SPI/I2C switch used by the user to toggle between SPI and I2C usage.
• Placing the gesture in the correct direction above the camera will make the final result more accurate. For the sensor, if you see the figure standing upright, then you have placed it in the correct position.
