Wearable Sensor Badge & Sensor Jacket for Context Awareness
نویسندگان
چکیده
The addition of sensors to wearable computers allows them to adapt their functions to more suit the activities and situation of their wearers. Here a wearable sensor badge is described constructed from (hard) electronic components, which can sense perambulatory activities for context-awareness. A wearable sensor jacket is described that uses advanced knitting techniques to form (soft) fabric stretch sensors positioned to measure upper limb and body movement. Worn on-the-hip, or worn as clothing, these unobtrusive sensors supply abstract information about your current activity to your other

Where am I: Recognizing On-body Positions of Wearable Sensors
The paper describes a method that allows us to derive the location of an acceleration sensor placed on the user’s body solely based on the sensor’s signal. The approach described here constitutes a first step in our work towards the use of sensors integrated in standard appliances and accessories carried by the user for complex context recognition. It is also motivated by the fact that device l...
متن کاملThe Uber-badge - a Versatile Platform at the Juncture between Wearable and Social Computing
We present the design of a new badge platform for facilitating interaction in large groups of people. We have built this device to be very flexible in order to host a wide variety of interactions in the areas where wearable and social computing converge, from game environments to meetings and conventions. This badge has both RF and IR communication, a 5x9 LED display capable of presenting graph...

A difficult issue with understanding face-to-face interactions is the lack of context information. Badge-like wearable sensors, for instance, can now tell us who talks to whom, but the context of these interactions (work? social?) likely trumps any content or conversational dynamics information. In this paper we detail a study where we have automatic annotations of work context information. We ...
