Medication reminder delivered on a handheld computer at a "convenient time" based on the medication schedule and the activity of the user. Thesis work of Pallavi Kaushik ('05).
ViTo is an experimental "universal" remote control for the PlaceLab TV and stereo system. In addition to offering integrated control of home entertainment media, ViTo uses wireless MITes sensors to help people keep track of their physical activity in the PlaceLab. ViTo also offers puzzle games and other features that respond to bodily movement. Thesis work of Jason Nawyn ('05).
Sensor to detect UV rays on wrist band. For his thesis work, graduate student Louis Lopez ('05) adapted a House_n MITes sensor for use by researchers interested in studying people's exposure to UV light.
One version of the MITes (MIT environmental sensors) can monitor current changes for small and large appliances. In this graph, the power usage pattern of a common breadmaker, as detected by a MITes, is graphed. Thesis work of Louis Lopez('05).
To test her hypothesis that people are more receptive to interruption immediately following a task transition, Joyce Ho ('04) asked volunteers to carry a mobile device that would periodically query them, either randomly or as triggered by motion detected by MITes sensors worn on the body. Volunteers rated how receptive they would be, at that time, to an interruption, such as a phone call or reminder.
Stephen Intille, Xiaoyi Ma, and Chuck Kukla proposed a methodology for assisting a user who is interested in learning about his or her own preferences using a process they call image-based experience sampling and reflection. Here a user can reflect on their experience of a work space to inform design decisions. ("Eliciting user preferences..", 2002)
Screen-shot of context-aware experience sampling - a tool developed by John Rondoni ('03) and Stephen Intille. Researchers can ask participants to carry a mobile device that periodically prompts them for information about their current state (e.g., activity, mood).
