Smart Proximity-Based TV Interaction Device

Project Summary (for Engineer Evaluation)

I’m looking for an engineer who can design and prototype a small smart electronic device that connects to a TV and interacts intelligently based on proximity detection.

The device will include:

A distance or proximity sensor that can be calibrated to different ranges.

Video/audio playback functionality triggered automatically based on the sensor readings.

Connection through HDMI and USB (for power and signal).

A simple user interface (local or web-based) to adjust settings and upload media.

The project involves hardware selection, embedded firmware development, and software integration to control the device’s response.

Please confirm whether you have experience with:

Embedded systems (e.g., Raspberry Pi, ESP32, or similar)

HDMI or media playback control

Sensor integration (infrared, ultrasonic, or time-of-flight)

Web or mobile interface for device configuration

If this sounds within your scope, I can share more details and schematics under NDA.
