Arduino Proximity Sensor -Activated OLED Display for Smart & Industrial Automation

Project Description:

A compact and efficient smart display system that uses an IR obstacle sensor to detect motion or presence. When a hand or object is extended towards the sensor, an OLED display automatically turns on, showing useful information such as status updates, sensor readings, or notifications. After 3 seconds of inactivity, the display turns off to conserve power.

Potential Applications:

Smart Home Automation – Display room temperature, security alerts, or appliance statuses only when someone is nearby.

Industrial Use – Hands-free status monitoring in factories, reducing distractions and energy consumption.

Smart Gadgets – Interactive control panels for IoT devices that activate only when needed.

Energy-Saving Display Systems – Reduces power consumption in battery-operated or low-power devices.
