Firstup in the demos is Kinect, the motion sensor gaming device.
In November 2010 came the Kinect sensor, a device packed with cameras and microphones that track users movements and listen to their voices, allowing the Xbox to be controlled through speech and motion instead of a game pad.
While competing solutions require either two sensors or multiple chips to support pen and multi-touch, N-trig is the first company to offer both on a single chip and a single sensor, providing device manufacturers with a compact, low-power solution and paving the way for N-trig to enter the handheld market.
As a material highly sensitive to the environment, graphene could act as a sensor with a single device measuring strain, gas, magnetism or pressure.
Or it means that you put a device between the sensor and the Xbox for means of cheating, which also has not happened.

At the head of the device is an infrared sensor, but forget about using it as an IR-blaster like the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, it's only designed to work with 6100-series handsets and compatible printers.
The Light Touch can turn that image into a touch-screen that you can type on or swipe through with the help of a holographic laser projection and infrared sensor at the bottom of the device.

The key difference is that instead of focusing the light on a strip of photochemical film as in traditional cameras, digital cameras use an image sensor, called a charge coupled device (CCD), to capture the image.
The HeartMath sensor is the company's first mobile device after years of working only on computers.

From the perspective of a patient, this is a Tricorder device, albeit one centered on an implantable micromachine sensor.
The orientation sensor automatically adjusts between portrait and landscape mode in most applications when the device is tilted, and the 2-Axis Accelerometer is great for controlling games that need simultaneous steering and acceleration.
An alternative view is that California tech companies are stuck in the device paradigm and seriously need to look at new ways of using sensor technology.
