By The New York Times’ Nick Bilton present to us¬† with Benedetto Vigna, general manager of the MEMS division of STMicroelectronics, about what type of sensors we will¬† see in the next generation of mobile phones.
The iPhone today uses a number of sensors like   GPS, accelerometer, gyroscope, and digital compass. These sensors have found to be very  useful in different  social applications and games.
Other sensors possibilities include heart monitors, perspiration/mood sensors, and temperature/humidity sensors. The new sensors will  even be used in games to conclude excitement or emotion during gameplay.
At the same time , a combination of factors (phone position, and other patterns) could be used to identify the user for security purposes.
