At the recent Consumer Electronics Show (CES), a major trend in many of the whizzy new gadgets that were on display was the enhanced interactivity and environmental sensing capabilities of products. Whether it's rotating a display from portrait to landscape mode, determining location, direction and elevation, or even improving the wireless transmission quality and battery life, there is a common thread connecting this new wave of innovation in devices: MEMS, or Micro-ElectroMechanical Systems. As cost and power consumption have become ever more critical for mobile devices, product develop ers have discovered the benefits of incorporating MEMS into their devices. Each successive wave of smartphones and tablets that comes to market sets a new standard in functionality thanks to MEMS-enabled features.
