Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for facilitating providing of sensor capability in devices using device attachments. In one example, a sensor device includes an attachment body configured to be disposed along a side of a user device when the sensor device is coupled to the user device. The sensor device further includes an actuator configured to selectively apply a force. The sensor device further includes a connector block coupled to the actuator and configured to selectively extend from or retract into the attachment body in response to the force. The sensor device further includes a connector configured to couple to a connector port of the user device and provide data communication between the sensor device and the user device. The connector is at least partially disposed in the connector block. Related systems and devices are also provided.
