Abstract
A projector is provided, which has a plurality of operating modes, including a first operating mode in which a beam of electromagnetic waves is emitted by the projector. In addition, a detection unit is configured in such a way that in the first operating mode of the projector the presence of an object in the optical path of the beam is detected. Moreover, the projector includes a processing unit which is developed to switch from the first operating mode to a second operating mode that differs from the first operating mode when an object is detected in the optical path of the beam.
