you want.”

“Speed”
•  GPS – “Location”
•  Gyroscope –
“Movement”
•  Compass – “Direction”

1.  Spatial – Location / Speed Orientation
2.  Temporal – Time / Duration
3.  Environmental – Temperature / Light / Noise Level
4.  User Characterization – Activity (Mobility Pattern) / Social (Friends, Interactions)
5.  Resource Availability – Storage / Memory / Computational / Battery

Smartphones. What Motivates?
•  Citizens and Communities concerned with noise
•  Measure your daily sound exposure in dB(A) with
your mobile phone
•  Tag noisy sources to inform the community about
them
•  Visualize your measurements on a map and
contribute to the creation of collective, city-wide
noise maps
•  Compare your experience with that of others
•  Local governments / city planners
•  Improve decision-making by understanding local and
global noise pollution in your city using maps and
statistics
•  Get immediate feedback and opinions from citizens
•  Give immediate feedback to citizens
•  Researchers
•  Get access to and analyze (anonymized) collective
noise data
•  Find out what is important in soundscape perception
•  Developers
•  Extend our mobile app in whichever way you see fit
•  Use our environmental sensor web API to do your

HOW MANY STEPS

WALKED TODAY?
 Average 3,000 – 4000

YESTERDAY I MADE 5,559

The recommended 10,000 steps a day originated in Japan in

the early 1965. Japanese researchers led by Dr Yoshiro Hatano
determined the average person took 3,500 to 5,000 steps per
day, and that if they were to increase their steps to 10,000
steps per day, the result would be healthier, thinner people!



Dr. Hatano’s calculations also showed that we should walk
10,000 steps a day to burn about 20% of our caloric intake
through activity.
Classification of Pedometer-Determined Physical Activity

•  < 5000 steps/day - "sedentary lifestyle index”

•  5,000-7,499 steps/day - "low active"
•  7,500-9,999 steps/day - "somewhat active”
•  10,000 steps/day - "active”
•  > 12,500 steps/day - "highly active"

Can Internet of Things (IOT) Help Us To Know More About Ourselves?

 Lifelogging

Take a Stroll Down a Virtual Memory Lane

“How much more IOT can do is only left to your imagination and to your budget. You
can do as little or as much with IoT as you want.”
Digital memories can do more than simply assist the recollection
of past events, conversations and projects.
Narrative Clip
 Benefits of Lifelogging
It will take quite some time for people to feel comfortable with ‘always connected’
devices that can discreetly take photos or videos.

One question is if the benefits outweigh the negatives.

 Benefits of Lifelogging – Precious Moments
In ‘Total Recall’ (no relation to the movie) Gorden Bell (of Microsoft acclaim) found that by
digitizing everything in his life he was able to reduce stress by a massive amount. Need a
receipt of something you bought years ago? No problem, just do a quick search and it should
pop right up.

What he also found was that by taking photos of everything moment of his life he could go
back to precious unexpected moments that you wouldn’t normally take photos of.
 Benefits of Lifelogging - Security

A huge amount of crimes are being filmed these days by passer’s by with cell
phones. No need for security cameras when everyone in a building has a smart
phone with a camera.
These moments could include a photo of your wife on the day you both met or a last photo of
your beloved dog. It could also help with memory. Search for someone’s name
and you’ll have all the information (including photos) of that person pop up when you are about
to talk with them.

the things you've done because some of us have a great story to tell.

Top 10 Places That Have Banned Google Glass

Lifelogging: Is It An Invasion Of Privacy? Because of these concerns, Google Glass has

already received a number of pre-bans at certain
places.

1.  Banks/ATMs
2.  Sports Arenas/Concert Venues
3.  Locker Rooms/Dressing Rooms
4.  Movie Theaters
5.  Cars
6.  Hospitals
7.  Classrooms
8.  Strip Clubs
9.  Casinos
10.  Bars

“I think the really big issue here is that you might, individually, not worry about
publishing details of your personal life. But you are publishing your friends, family and
business contacts details at the same time. You are potentially compromising your
family and friends!”
Lifelogging – Beyond Than Just Counting Steps

How can you organize and browse all the video, audio,
image and text data you amass?
 Auto Tagging

•  Fast browsing through memories will be dependent on such annotation

•  To do this efficiently, we'll need machine learning algorithms that can automatically
recognize and tag all forms of life-logged data.
•  Only then will we get the killer applications,
 Logging Your Mind
In the future, Gurrin (Dublin
City University in Ireland)
envisages that wearable
headsets incorporating
brainwave sensors will do
memory ranking. "A spike
due to excitement in a certain
part of the brain could then
be logged alongside the
video to infer its importance
level," he says

How to automatically
annotate files with
descriptive, searchable tags
and to easily browse them.

Neurowear “Neurocam” Concept [Video]
 Thought Controlled Computing

The flagship product, MindWave, is a

headset that can log into your computer
using just your thoughts. Researchers
recently used the EEG headset to develop
a toy car that can be driven forward with
thought.

NeuroSky’s smart sensors can also track
your heart rate and other bodily metrics
and can be embedded in the next
generation of wearable devices.

“We make it possible for millions of
consumers to capture and quantify critical
health and wellness data,” Yang (CEO of
Softbank) said. Softbank is the funder.
