As processors have escalated in capability via Moores Law, electronic sensors have similarly advanced. Rather than dedicate a small number of sensors to hardwired designs that expressly measure parameters of interest, we can begin to envision a near future with sensors as commodity where dense, multimodal sensing is the rule rather than the exception, and where features relevant to many applications are dynamically extracted from a rich data stream. This article overviews recent results from several projects at the MIT Media Lab and the Responsive Environments Group that look at various embodiments of such agile sensing structures, including high-bandwidth, wireless multimodal sensor clusters, massively distributed, ultra-low-power "featherweight" sensor nodes, and extremely dense sensor networks as digital "skins". The author also touch on other examples involving new types of sensing applied to human-computer interfaces and interactive media, plus overview our work on parasitic power harvesting. (10 pages)
