Neuroscientist Bradley Voytek has a pretty interesting blog post about just how keen human senses really are.
Sensors are simple little things that measure and report on change and in so doing they emulate the five human senses.
But it is a salutary reminder that the limitations of human senses can cause even competent scientists to overlook obvious lines of enquiry.
Once each sense was mastered, the next phase would be to get them to work together, just as human senses do, to allow more natural communication between two people who are not in the same room, Bishop said.
But as I look back, I realize that the she was tapping into one of the most primal elements of human existence, my senses.

In other words, you're looking at a future in which robotic hands interpret the nuances of a surface or gripped object akin to a human fingertip and artificial skin senses touch similar to the way tiny hairs on an arm do.
The faith's official theology, after wrestling with the different senses in which Christ was human and divine, had crystallised with the pronouncement in the early fifth century that Mary was Theotokos, the Mother of God: the person whose body was the miraculous locus of a unique cosmic event, the coming together of the Creator and the created, physical world.
By the 2020s he thought it likely that artificial intelligence would reach human level, dinosaurs would be cloned, and neurological research into the senses would mean that mankind could bypass information from the ears, eyes and skin.

The phrase nature deficit disorder was coined in 2005 by author Richard Louv, who argued that the human cost of "alienation from nature" was measured in "diminished use of the senses, attention difficulties and higher rates of physical and emotional illnesses".
The objective is to mimic human interactions so closely that the device disappears from consciousness, leaving the users to communicate though all their senses.
