General discussion • Proximity sensor

$

I am working on a wall mounted touchscreen for home automation control. It consists of a Pi 3B and a touchscreen that will be mounted in 3D printed case. I would like to be able to detect if someone walks up to it, so the screen can be turned on.

First question: It seems like a IR proximity sensor like one below would be best suited for the task. Is IR the best for what I want to do?

Second Question: Mounting it in the case. The one below is very popular, but I can't see how I could mount it in the case without it looking silly. Anyone have a suggestion for one that can neatly be mounted?


Thanks!

-Bryan
