Mobile Sensing Group
Mobile phone sensing is the next big thing.
Sensor enabled mobile phones (aka smartphones) are poised to be at the
center of a next revolution in social networks, green applications,
global environmental monitoring, personal and community healthcare,
sensor augmented gaming, virtual reality and smart transportation
systems.
Collaborative data gathering of sensed data for people by people,
facilitated by the explosion of sensor-enabled mobile phones hitting
the market represents a juggernaut coming straight at the consumer and
the research community.
Sensing is going people-centric.
The Mobile Sensing Group at Dartmouth College is helping lead the way
in turning the everyday mobile phone into an open global mobile
sensing platform for personal, social-nets and societal-scale sensing.
We are developing new software technology for the Nokia, Apple and
Google phones to sense, learn, visualize, and share information about
ourselves, friends, communities, the way we live, and the world we
live in.
By pushing intelligence to the phone and the computing cloud we are
enabling a new generation of sensor augmented applications and
systems, such as,
CenceMe, SoundSense,
Second Life Sensor and BikeNet.
