ABSTRACT
The word “sense” comprises the feeling of sensing the world. The perceptive
view is complex, thus giving the user a remarkable possibility to register the close
proximity in that part of the world they are acting and interacting with. The
advantage of entering an expressive description of a new and emerging scientific
field of artificial and perceptual sensor systems, is indeed a challenge that predicts
an enormous scientific potential. Furthermore, to merge these systems to inter-
act with an individual and its perception is an even more sophisticated task, at
least if the ambition is to make a “true” symbiotic relationship between the sys-
tem and its user. The general development strategy of a new technology system
covering many traditional disciplines is naturally complicated to get a common
understanding. Therefore, the requirements are focused on a convincing concept
that has an illustrative view, which can be demonstrated through experiments and
be easily described. The background application scenarios will hopefully view
the benefits and show sufficient results in recognition of a number of situations
described, that may be interpolated with the reader’s own experience in similar
situations. The merging of ideas given in this book, together with the reader’s
own experience, have hopefully the right mixture of innovative and constructive
solutions that may forward the development of artificial human sensors in a new
and unforeseen direction to the benefit of the user.
