MoMo Detroit – March 11th – Rise of the Machines
Posted on: February 21, 2013 – Filed under: Detroit
Smart sensor networks, whether in a home, commercial building, or advanced vehicle platform have the power to transform our living, working and driving experiences. As sensors, mobile devices, and networked objects become more pervasive, the connected world will become more intelligent, self-diagnosing, and even more predictive in its interactions with human beings. With these billions of data points, business insights will beome richer and more valuable, and will enable greater adaptation to our needs.
Join Mobile Monday Detroit for a discussion of smart buildings and networked devices, and interaction with the mobile-enabled world.
The meeting takes place at Compuware Headquarters on Monday, March 11th at 5:30 p.m., and is FREE to attend, though reservations are required for security and catering purposes.
