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.
