Melanie Martella, executive editor of Sensors magazine, introduced us to the concept of sensor fusion, a fast-emerging technology that takes data from disparate sources to come up with more accurate, complete and dependable data than was previously possible.
It would not start with the proposed test of the MIRACL laser against the third Miniature Sensor Technology Integration (MSTI-3) satellite. (For that matter, these assets were used in an inconclusive low-power laser test last April.) And it assuredly would not stop if the Clinton Administration chooses not to conduct the high-power experiment now being proposed by the Army.
The combination of the speedy response of the touchscreen panel and the FAST (Frequency Acceleration Sensor Technology) AF system, the same technology that made the Olympus OM-D the world's fastest autofocusing camera, gives users the power to capture precisely the image they want at precisely the moment they want it.
The company has no plans to manufacture any of its own devices, but plans to make its motion sensor technology ubiquitous in others.
