Opportunity Areas : Bio sensingNEXT GEN BIOSENSING

Various sensors to enable dynamic understanding of

vitals

A vast library of ‘body IQ’

http://fortune.com/2015/09/16/intel-ny-fashion-week/

Opportunity Areas : Authentication

Next generation sensors including

• Low power/size fingerprint, iris & other biometric ID

Wearables wish list from MEMS experts

• Natural Gesture Control /user input with context awareness• Sensor fusion with other input methods

• Haptics – distributed and localized

• Advanced bio sensing• Next generation security/biometric

Conclusion: MEMS & sensors can differentiate and ADD value to wearables
