Abstract
There is disclosed a sensing device () adapted to receive light emitted from a plurality of light sources (A, B), each of the plurality of light sources (A, B) emitting light comprising a light source identifier. The sensing device () comprises a sensing module () comprising a light selection unit () configured to receive at least a portion of the light emitted from the plurality of light sources (A, B) and a light selection unit () configured to receive at least a portion of the light emitted from the plurality of light sources (A, B). The light selection unit () is adapted to selectively convey a selected portion of light received by the light selection unit () to a second photo sensor unit (). The light selection unit () is arranged relatively to the first photo sensor unit (), or vice versa, in such a way that the selected portion of light is associated with a photo sensor of a plurality of photo sensors of the first photo sensor unit () detecting light.
