Summary
Illustrates a body-positive detector that senses changes in infrared energy associated with a person's movement and determines the body position in real time. The detector "panorama eye" has been incorporated in Mitsubishi 1994 model air conditioners. The position information is used to guide the air flow, creating an air flow and temperature distribution that maximises the comfort of the room's occupants and reduces energy use during heating by approximately 15%.
