Sensing, understanding and modelling people using mobile phones

Speaker: Mirco Musolesi, Computer Science, University of St Andrews Abstract: Mobile phones are increasingly equipped with sensors, such as accelerometers, GPS receivers, proximity sensors and cameras, that can be used to sense and interpret people behaviour in real-time. Novel user-centered sensing applications can be built by exploiting the availability of such technologies in these devices Sensing, understanding and modelling people using mobile phones
