The first signs are appearing that MEMS devices could emulate and sense their environment with human-like capabilities, using the five best-known senses in a “phy-gital” meta-world, forecasts Yole Developpement. The final step for MEMS would be to evolve from simple deterministic data-collection sensors to more empathic data-interpretation machines. Devices could discern and predict user moods, ...
