Touch sensor is as sensitive as your fingertip
An artificial touch sensor as sensitive as a human fingertip has been developed by US scientists. One day it could let surgeons remotely "feel" tissue through an endoscope and help robots pour drinks without spilling a drop.
Sensors Without Batteries
In the future, the environment could be pervaded by sensors using the same power-scavenging techniques as RFID tags.
Sensors and devices - SenseCam
SenseCam is a badge-sized wearable camera that captures up to 2000 VGA images per day into 128Mbyte FLASH memory. In addition, sensor data such as movement, light level and temperature is recorded every second.

KDa ICE project
When you approach ICE the infrared sensors
behind the 5.0m x 3.5m glass wall detect your
presence and you begin to interact with the
data. You don't actually b vhave to touch the
glass - the sensors dectect you from about
500mm away
