How Sensors Are Shaping Tomorrow’s Technology

An overview of how sensors enable smart devices, wearables, industrial automation, and AI systems by connecting software with changing conditions in the physical world.

Video summary

Pete Cooper argues that sensors are the next major wave in technology. He contrasts the internet’s existing information with systems that observe the physical world through cameras, multispectral sensors and sensor fusion across three- and four-dimensional spaces.

Drawing on his early work putting cameras into Nokia phones, Cooper sees AI vision as a continuation of a long interest in sensing. He predicts that combining AI with real-world sensor data will open new possibilities for science, technology, startups and established companies; this is his outlook, not a forecast established by the video.
