Smartphone investigations
• Am I a better driver than my parents, or my partner?– Accelerometer and compass to measure how ‘smooth’ is my
driving (10 samples/second)
• Is noise stressful?– Log ambient noise for a day, and record when I feel
stressed (1 sample/minute)
• Is this room suitable for my baby at night?– Temperature and humidity (12 samples/hour)
And share data with many other people
