Highlight from ICRA 2013 #2 - Dynamic vision sensor
Vast number of application could have dynamic vision sensor technology developed at ETH in Zurich. It takes completely different approach than we know from CCD, CMOS as it senses only changes in image, similarly to the human eye. In my opinion, this could be total game changer in the field of photosensors!

However, only 20 years later, i.e. today, the situation totally turned. Nowadays, with 35% of population connected to the Internet and growing penetration of fast connection, we should really rethink the situation in education. More >
