Avoid Interference between PRs

Infrared Projector Interference​

Interference can occur if the SR300 is capturing infrared patterns projected from multiple infrared projectors simultaneously.  Low interference assumes a user is in front of each SR300 and comfortably spaced apart.

Review of Turnstile Setup Operations​

  • A: Door Setup (@ 59")

  • Good depth range from 47" to 71"

  • Requires high mounting height

  • B: Turnstile Setup (@ 41", 0.9m range)

  • Good depth range from 47" to ~65"

  • Does not work well for taller that ~60"

  • Requires tall people to lean over the PR (need to tile head 60+ degree down)

  • Leaning over th PR can cause hair to cover the face

  • Recommendation: Not feasible as a product

  • C: Turnstile Setup (@41", 1.2m range)

  • Good depth range from 47" to ~71"

  • High risk of accidental recognition (ID A, grand access to B)

  • Requires tall people to lean over the PR (need to tilt head 50+ degrees down)

  • Leaning over the PR can cause hair to cover the face.
