The point is that everything will have embedded in it some sensor connecting it to the machine, and so we have, basically, an Internet of things.
You can see the little BB in the box is my tilt sensor.
This sweatband has inside it a homebuilt skin-conductance sensor, and one day, one of our undergrads knocked on my door right at the end of the December semester, and he said, "Professor Picard, can I please borrow one of your wristband sensors?
This is now commercialized by Empatica, a start-up that I had the privilege to cofound, and the team there has done an amazing job improving the technology to make a very beautiful sensor that not only tells time and does steps and sleep and all that good stuff, but this is running real-time AI and machine learning to detect generalized tonic-clonic seizures and send an alert for help if I were to have a seizure and lose consciousness.
So when I was working on this thing, I invented this sensor which injects structured electric fields into objects and turns them into gesture interfaces.
So this doorknob, unmodified, can become a gesture sensor.
A pair of running shoes does not need to have a touch sensor.
If you have a sensor, it should measure your running performance or knee impact, while remaining a great pair of shoes.
Today, an emerging medical sensor industry is exploring all-new degrees of precision chemical fingerprinting, using tiny light-manipulating devices no larger than a tenth of a millimeter.
My work on FIREBall started in 2008, working not on the telescope but on the light sensor, which is the heart of any telescope.
This new sensor was being developed by a team that I joined at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

The sensor is a camera that looks out at the world and reports distances to objects.
It's about 36 inches wide and it's equipped with a multi-touch sensor.
Now what's great about a multi-touch sensor is that, you know, I could be doing this with as many fingers here, but of course multi-touch also inherently means multi-user.
But of course we have a way to measure that now on a continuous basis, with a sensor that detects blood glucose, and it's important because we could detect hyperglycemia that otherwise wouldn't be known, and also hypoglycemia.
One of the ones I just wanted to mention: The iShoe is another example of a sensor that improves proprioception among the elderly to prevent falling.
Each of these has a sensor.
