Sensor Field

Today at our new office I took a walk around the building exploring the landscape.

Just as this piece by Ned Kahn helps make wind, which is invisible, visible. The many different types of sensors utilized by Zeiss products help doctors, scientists, engineers, manufacturers, artists, sportsmen and many others bring better visibility to what is around them as they make decisions that affect our lives.
