Description
This way you could set it to 'dim' the display after a delay.
You could set it to 'blank' screen or sleep the display too.
You could even use the screensaver to have something else play, like pictures or something.
Then when someone walks up to it or sits near it, it would wake as you could easily put a sensor on a GPIO or something and have that be the spacebar or something like that. Or the right arrow...etc.

Research direction
The issue proposes a camera or GPIO-connected sensor to wake the display, with configurable dimming, blanking, sleep, and screensaver behavior. No files, tests, or entry points are named, so start by locating the display and kiosk lifecycle code and determine how input events are handled. Done would require an agreed design and working, configurable behavior for the proposed wake and sleep modes.
