INFO 290. Sensors, Humans, Data, and AppsUC BerkeleySchool of Information Fall 2015 |

Just as the web browser brought us click-stream data and the mobile phone brought us geo-location data, ubiquitous low-cost sensors integrated with wearable and IoT devices will bring us a new torrent of user data to collect, analyze, and exploit. The course takes a hands-on approach to exploring the possibilities and limitations of consumer-grade sensing technologies for brainwave, heart rate, body movement, and other physiological and contextual data. We will survey the literature on the analysis and visualization of bio-sensory data and the design and evaluation of applications that leverage the data. We will collect and analyze our own data using a variety of devices. We will consider new business models and data stewardship issues, including data ownership and data privacy. Project work can be undertaken in a variety of application domains, such as affective computing, ambient assisted living, biometric authentication, home robotics, neuro-marketing, privacy by design, quantified self, and novel user interface technologies.
