Nokia's Lumia 920 packs the industry's best image stabilization -- there's no questioning that -- thanks to a camera module that pairs both sensor and lens-based optical IS. The iPhone 5 also offers a notable improvement over its Apple-made predecessor on the video front, but considering that its stabilization is of the digital variety, we wouldn't expect it to top Nokia's new flagship.

Once he established the science behind the idea was possible, he built a prototype, which involved a sensor that detects what level of agitation a patient is experiencing, using a digital video camera.
This means that it is only possible to know where you touched a sensor - at this 7-Eleven, then at that subway station, then at a library.

The trick is to find a way to make this flow rate change when the chemical that the sensor has been designed to detect is present.
Some of the avatars have a sensor that activates the messages when someone is close by, others repeat their pre-programmed speeches on a loop.
My thought about the iWatch is it will simply be a sensor package that has as an additional capability, the ability to accurately track time (synch via network connection for time correction).

The new Exilim Card EX-S10 (pictured) manages to pack a full 10 megapixels, 3X optical zoom, a 2.7-inch LCD, and stereo microphones into its 1-inch thick frame -- which means we're a little curious as to how noisy that sensor is, since it can't be very big.

Technically, the now famous HAPIfork counts as evidence that the Internet of Sensors is arriving, where the fork is used as a sensor to measure the things we really care about, namely the calories and nutrients we consume, but that in turn is only useful to the extent that it tells us about our bodies.
In addition to its weather-watching mission and collection of climate records, MSG-3 has a radiation sensor to measures the amount of solar and infrared energy that is reflected back into space, to better understand climate processes.
The smartphone is designed for an optimal gaming experience with a six-axis sensor that fine tunes its accelerometer's ability to interpret simple movements of the device, so when the phone tilts up and down or left and right, the game can immediately respond in the same directions.
