4. Sensel
Manufacturer of pressure-sensitive multi-touch sensors. It has developed a multi-touch input device that senses pressure applied at any individual point. This device is made up of a grid of sensors that detect the point of interaction along with the amount of pressure applied. It can also detect touch from any flexible material placed over it. Using this feature, they have developed tactile overlays for different applications, like keyboard input and music. Users can interact with the computer or any other device. They have open-source API that allows users to feed in raw pressure data or touch information into a system.

5. MC10
MC10 is developing a manufacturing technology that will allow digital circuits to be embedded in fabric or flexible plastic. BioStamp, MC10's first product, is a collection of sensors that can be applied to the skin. The sensors within collect data such as body temperature, heart rate, brain activity, and exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Using near field communication the BioStamp can upload its information to a nearby smartphone for analysis. BioStamp could also be used to verify a person’s identity to a computer or mobile device. Another product, Checklight, developed with Reebok, measures velocity and impact to help diagnose concussions in sports.
