PITTSBURGH, PA--(Marketwired - Dec 7, 2015) - MEMS & Sensors Industry Group's conference track at CES 2016®, "The Internet of MEMS & Sensors," will help consumer electronics original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and embedded systems integrators navigate the emerging capabilities of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)/sensors -- the component technology essential to wearables, smart home appliances/systems, augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR), autonomous cars and the Internet of Things (IoT).
"Enabling indispensable features such as context awareness, indoor navigation, gesture recognition and activity monitoring in the connected applications on which we rely daily, MEMS/sensors are driving new user experiences in today's and tomorrow's consumer electronics," said Karen Lightman, executive director, MEMS & Sensors Industry Group. "Our CES 2016 conference track offers attendees a unique vantage point into how influential OEMs/integrators like Huawei, Qualcomm Technologies Inc. and Delphi Automotive are using MEMS/sensors from leading suppliers like Bosch, Analog Devices, InvenSense, STMicroelectronics and Freescale in order to stay ahead in an exponentially more competitive marketplace. Conference track attendees can expect to walk away with keener insights on the technological and manufacturing advances behind the next generation of MEMS/sensors."
