When I was in university one of the things I did for the completion of my degree was to invent something. I made a door sensor that used cameras and intention detection to work out if the door needed to open or not.
Simply been near it wouldn’t cause it to open, you actually had to be intentionally striding in the correct direction.
It never went anywhere because it’s not actually useful technology and even in mass production would probably have cost 10x what a simple infrared sensor would have, it just always bugged me that automatic doors in businesses used to open just because someone was stood near them, and let the cold air in.
