In addition to the MSP we've also been using a number of cell phone platforms to provide wide area communications, display, local interaction capabilities, and additional sensors.

Overview

This page contains information about the on-going projects in human activity recognition at the University of Washington.


Mobile Sensing Platform

The current platform that we're using consists of an embedded processor component, called an iMote2, and a sensing component called the MSB2 (Multi-modal Sensor Board). The combination of the iMote2, MSB2, and the system software is often referred to as the MSP (Mobile Sensing Platform).


Phone Platforms

In addition to the MSP we've also been using a number of cell phone platforms to provide wide area communications, display, local interaction capabilities, and additional sensors. Most questions about phones should go to yanokwa@cs
