Sensing the Metaverse
Through AR/VR technology, Metaverse will develop to bring great changes to social life. Closely related to it, whether it is the IoT information transmission or AI self-learning technology…are inseparable from the support of sensing technology. Sensors, like smart organs, are able to collect and analyze various data such as smell, sounds, tactile impression and motion trajectory etc., so as to bring a more holographic and original experience to Metaverse. Through the keynote presentation, Bosch Sensortec will share:
- The status of MEMS sensors and solutions;
- How sensing technology enables the Metaverse;
- Outlook for sensing the Metaverse
