Printing the Future - Building the Trillion Sensor Network One Droplet at a Time (Internet of Things Applications USA 2015)

Currently, there are hundreds of sensors in our automobiles, homes, smart devices, and wearable technologies. As this trend continues, it is reasonable to predict that by 2020, we will interact with thousands of sensors every day. This presentation will explore the emergence of the Trillion Sensor Network (TSN) and the new fabrication and manufacturing strategies required to support rapidly growing manufacturing volumes and the demands for increasing sensor performance.
