As some of you may have heard me announce at recent SV Android meetups, the Wireless Communications Alliance (WCA) is hosting our next event on Mobile Sensors innovating User Experiences on 4/18(Wed) evening. As the organizer and moderator of this exciting event, I wanted to extend a special invitation to all of you.
*** FREE Smartphones to be given away! Light meals, drinks and refreshments will be provided! ***
Our event description with registration link is provided below/here: Seating is limited, so please register asap.
Our primary goal is to educate Mobile App & Device developers like yourselves on exciting Sensor capabilities and how to best use them to utterly differentiate your apps & UX. (Target platforms: Android, Windows Phone)
Also, we’re still actively recruiting Apps Developers/Companies that uniquely use these Sensors (below) already in their apps to feature them as Demo Partners. If this is you and you’re interested in joining, please reply back only to me with a brief description of how your app utilizes these sensors along with your contact information.
* Sensors presented: Motion MEMS (Gyroscope, Accelerometer, e-Compass), Proximity, Light, MultiTouch & Touchless, Temperature, Humidity sensors

WCA Mobile & Future SIG jointly presents::
Semiconductor Sensors innovating Mobile Devices & User Experiences
April 18th 2012 -- 6:30pm - 8:30pm (Registration Starts at 6:00pm, Networking until 9:00pm)Qualcomm Inc., Bldg SCL.B, 3165 Kifer Road, Santa Clara, CA* In addition to the presentations, the event will feature demo tables hosted by several key players in the mobile sensor ecosystem - and a few lucky attendees will go home with free smartphones! Light meals, drinks and refreshments will be provided. *
Indoor navigation LBS and gesture enabled 3D games using motion sensors, gesture & touchless user interfaces, smart proximity & color sensing, Augmented Reality, context-aware services -- these are the next-generation use cases that mobile device designers implement leveraging the latest advances in semiconductor "sensor" technologies. With the next wave of smart phones and tablets launching in 2012, User Experience (UX) and feature differentiations between devices are becoming ever-more important to stay market-competitive. At the same time, developers are faced with the challenges in balancing device performance, cost, and power consumption optimization for mobile devices. As the "fusion" across such innovations among semiconductor sensors and mobile apps & device designs mature, the enhancement of the overall UX will dramatically propel the mobile industry out to a new frontier.
At this event, our expert presenters from various leading semiconductor companies will introduce and demonstrate such technological innovations and UX enabled by various semiconductor sensors. Not only will they show demonstrations of their sensor technologies but our guest OEMs and App Developer companies will also showcase real-life use cases and apps on various mobile devices. We will address myriad of questions including: What types of sensors are being used to implement what specific differentiated UX in next wave of smartphones & tablets? What are the use cases that have not been able to bring to life with past semiconductor technologies? How is the performance vs. cost vs. power consumption tradeoffs being managed with such advanced innovations in semiconductors for mobile handhelds? What new mobile software and applications are being developed that uniquely leverage these sensor technologies and thus create new UX'es? What are the mobile sensor technologies & services trends behind "sensor fusion / integration" that enable innovations and new UX to advance even further into the future?
