How do we make smartphones even smarter?
That is the central question driving the Smartphone Sensing Group at Dartmouth.
Smartphones are open and programmable and come with a growing number
of powerful embedded sensors, such as an accelerometer, digital
compass, gyroscope, GPS, microphone, and camera, which are enabling
new sensing applications across a wide variety of domains such as
social networks, mobile health, gaming, entertainment, education and
transportation.
Application delivery channels such as the AppStore and Market have
transformed plain old cell phones into app phones, capable of
downloading a myriad of applications in an instant.
The Smartphone Sensing Group is turning the everyday smart phone into
a cognitive phone by pushing intelligence to the phone and the
computing cloud to make inferences about people's behavior,
surroundings and their life patterns.
We are developing new software technology for smartphones to sense,
learn, visualize, and share information about ourselves, friends,
communities, the way we live, and the world we live in.
Some of the sensing algorithms, systems and applications we have
developed in collaboration with Tanzeem Choudhury (Cornell
University) and others include
CenceMe,
SoundSense,
NeuralPhone,
Jigsaw,
Darwin Phones,
NextPlace,
EyePhone,
BeWell,
Community-Guided Learning ,
and
Community Similarity Networks.
