Proximity Sensor / Motion Sensor

For a museum project we have to create various media stations that are equipped with a proximity sensor.
Here we are looking for such “analog” motion/proximity sensors.
Function: If a person is approx. 2m in front of the sensor, it should start a media player, i.e. trigger a contact by closing a circuit (max. 5V) in order to start a film from the media player.
The sensors should be installed in the media stations.
Which sensor should I use?
Thanks

Hi @JoshuaRollo and welcome to our forum.

Here is one sensor from DFRobot that can detect human presence:

On this wiki page, you can see how to connect it and how to program it with Arudino:

So, you can also add that part of the code where you will set the output pin of Arudino and it would close/open a relay.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask anything else.

This could be achieved using Bluetooth Beacon.
