2 Agenda
MEMS & Sensors for the Humanization of Technology
MEMS & Sensors for Augmented Applications
Conclusion
ST driving the revolution
4 Sensing the World
• Humans interact with the environment through
their senses
• Sensors can enrich human interaction with the
surroundings
• Sensors create a more interactive and immersive
world
