Augmented sensing through smartphones
So how are we doing to augment our senses through digital technologies?
Here are some of the products currently on the market that allow people to augment their sensing (and sense-making) through external sensors, with result summaries visualised on smartphones and the web:
– Health and healthy living: AsthmaSense, DigiFit, FitBit, Up
– Sleep: Lark Sensor (WSJ article), WakeMate, Zeo
– Sports: Nike+ (running), Strava (cycling), Wahoo
– Home energy: Nest Learning Thermostat
– Plants (!): Koubachi
It feels like a lot more is to come.
