"Processing sights and sounds requires eyes, ears and, most important, a brain—right? But what if your hardware shared your senses?

In the era of cognitive computing, systems learn instead of passively relying on programming.

As a result, emerging technologies will continue to push the boundaries of human limitations to enhance and augment our senses with machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI), advanced speech recognition and more. No need to call for Superman when we have real super senses at hand.

This year IBM presents The 5 in 5 in five sensory categories, through innovations that will touch our lives and see us into the future."

Touch: You will be able to touch through your phone

Sight: A pixel will be worth a thousand words

Hearing: Computers will hear what matters

Taste: Digital taste buds will help you eat smarter

Smell: Computers will have a sense of smell
