\frametitle{Why Industrial I/O?}
\begin{itemize}
\item past - industrial process control or scientific research
\item present - all kinds of devices: phones, tablets, laptops, TVs
\item fill the gap between input and hwmon subsystems
\begin{itemize}
\item \texttt{hwmon} - low sample rate sensors used to control/monitor the system itself (fan speed control, temperature)
\item \texttt{input} - human interaction input devices (keyboard, mouse, touchscreen)
\end{itemize}
\item Industrial I/O (IIO) - de facto standard for sensors
\item many drivers in Android use input for sensors - this should be changed
\end{itemize}
