Smart experimental platform for collecting various sensing data from various things

In this paper, we report our efforts to recognize human contexts through the things sensorized by our sensor platform. As you know, many things wearing on your body have already become a sensor to understand our activities. Most famous things are watches and glasses. In the future, we suppose that unwearable things, such as cutlery, sport gear and instruments, would be also a sensor for recognizing our activities. Compared with our movements, the movement of unwearable things will have more variation. Also, suitable sensor and proper algorithm would be different according to the things. To enhance the senserization of various things, we have proposed a platform, called SenStick, that consists of ultra tiny all-in-one sensor board and sophisticated mobile app. If using it, every researcher can try embedding various sensor into various things and can focus on data analysis. We explain the possibility of smart experiment platform with introducing various sensorized things on the platform.
