Inspire the audience to use their intuition to try new ideas and create rapid prototypes to test those ideas. Many misses will happen, and then there will be a hit. That hit is how invention and innovation occur, as opposed to methodical and incremental improvement. In a field as hot as sensors, especially with IoT all the buzz in the start-up world, new ideas and rapid implementation will lead to huge pay offs.
