Futurist Reports

VSP Vision's Global Innovation Center has partnered with technology intelligence platform CB Insights to produce its Futurist Report series, a collection of data-driven digital media offering forward-looking analyses of the trends and businesses shaping the future of healthcare, vision care, eyewear, and more.

Future of Senses

The human experience is intimately connected to the five senses—sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch. These senses serve as our gateway to the world, allowing us to perceive our surroundings, engage with others, and savor life's moments. They work in harmony with our brain, providing vital information to keep us safe and thriving.

In today's rapidly advancing technological landscape, a wave of startups and researchers are innovating to enhance, extend, and digitize our senses. This movement is poised to revolutionize well-being, performance, and beyond. 

In the Global Innovation Center’s latest Futurist Report, Future of Senses, we spotlight the groundbreaking startups and research driving sensory technology forward and paving the way for a new era of human experience.

Here are the five rising trends that will shape the future of senses:

  1. Tech-enabled senses heighten the human experience
  2. Digitized senses unlock a value chain
  3. The brain-to-sense relationship aids in disease detection
  4. Sensory substitution technology supports disabilities
  5. AI ensures safety through sensory technologies
