SensHome: Towards A Corpus for Everyday Activities in Smart Homes

We present our planned efforts within the SensHome project in building a corpus of daily activities in smart environments. The recordings consisting of measurable events as provided by the instrumentation along with video and audio recordings.

Finally, the recordings will be done under real circumstances.
