Ray Kurzweil presented the keynote address, "The Rapidly Shrinking Sensor: an Intimate Merger with Our Bodies and Brains," at Sensors Expo and Conference in Boston on Sept. 24.
"The exponential growth of the power of information-based technologies is not limited to the price-performance of computers," said Kurzweil. "Communication bandwidths, the shrinking size of technology, our knowledge of the human brain, and human knowledge in general are all accelerating. Within the next couple of decades, computers with microscopic-sized sensors will be deeply integrated in the environment, our bodies and our brains, providing vastly extended longevity, full-immersion virtual reality, and enhanced human intelligence."
The event, which runs through Thursday, Sept. 26 at the World Trade Center, features a Robotics tournament on Wednesday (2:30 p.m. - 4 p.m.), exhibits, demos, and sessions on new sensor technology for nanotechnology, bioMEMS, wearables, wireless, and other key applications.
