"3D sensor technologies used for gesture recognition can deliver intuitive, natural human-device interaction," said Technical Insights Principal Analyst Peter Adrian. "Moreover, conductive films, such as silver nanowire films, will quicken the development of flexible, smaller, lighter, intuitive, economical and lower-power touch screens."
The convergence of various technologies will further expand the use of sensors in consumer electronics. Crucial points of convergence include smart textiles, wearables, haptics, the Internet of Things, cloud services, and wireless transmission.
For such technologies to gain more of a foothold and proliferate, sensor manufacturers must address the need for flexibility, robustness, ultra-low power consumption, tiny form factor, and operating capability in different environments and lighting conditions. The deployment of microelectromechanical systems will facilitate the production of smaller, energy-efficient, more networkable sensors for consumer electronics.
"The availability of ubiquitous sensors that can be embedded in a range of devices or applications and readily send data to the Internet will throw open additional opportunities for the technology in consumer electronics," noted Adrian. "As sensor technologies continue to evolve, increased intelligence and communications capabilities will bring novel consumer electronic solutions to the brink of commercialization."
