With the imminent launch of Microsoft Kinect and PlayStation Move, though, these motion-sensing system would seem obvious choices for a dance title.
Malcolm MacIver and colleagues at Northwestern University have created an "artificial electric-field sensing system that could ultimately give robotic subs the same additional sensory capabilities" as found in weakly electric fish.

Dille expects its upcoming add-on to the PS3, its motion-sensing system PlayStation Move that launches in just four days, to capture more market share among hardcore gamers, but more importantly, among the casual gamers out there.

Lacking a forward planning process based on scenario development, and lacking a good market sensing system that would pick up on the early market shift as novice competitor Apple started to really change the market, these companies are now falling rapidly to the wayside.
The sophisticated sensing system measures just 13.5- x 8.5- x 7.5-inches and weighs in at 22-pounds, which is around 30 times less than conventional mass spectrometers, and aside from its ability to be completely portable via battery power, it still sports the same sniffing capabilities as its mammoth-sized siblings.

The system leverages distance-sensing technology that we've seen before from Mercedes, Toyota, and the like, but requires a reflective lens on the garage wall to operate, which unfortunately precludes its use in public parking lots.
This system cries out for a 3-D gesture-sensing interface of the kind Samsung just unveiled on one of its TVs.
The 2013 model also features the next-gen Terrain Response system, which now includes a fully automated, idiot-proof terrain-sensing mode.
