Increasing the range of capsense

Thank you guys for the guidance and knowledge i appreciate it very much. I cant cancel the project because i will lack in time but i will put it in my conclusion and findings that capacitive sensing is not a good medium for automatic brakes. And who is that theremin guy a youtube channel? Thanks and more power to you all

A theremin is a musical instrument, based on capacitive sensing. Did you even try to just put "theremin" in Google?

Theremins mostly seem to get used making spooky sci-fi sound/music.
There was one in the Radio Shack 80-in-1 projects kit.

Theremin is very like a metal detector, another project in that kit.

Don't forget Beach Boys "Good Vibrations"!
