The article describes a new way to measure small changes in capacitance caused by human movement. The goal was to create a system that can detect when a person is near a sensor by measuring tiny changes in capacitance. By using a special circuit, the researchers were able to accurately measure these small changes in capacitance. This method can distinguish between different people based on their unique capacitance values. The results show that this system can detect even the smallest changes in capacitance when a person is close to the sensor.
