a sensor network for social dynamics
This paper describes the design and architecture of the UbER-Badge, a wireless sensor node and wearable display designed to facilitate group interaction in large meetings and acquire a wide range of data for analyzing social dynamics. The platform design and its application suite are described. Data is presented that shows the social patterns developing across large events and indicates that certain individual characteristics (interest, affiliation) can be determined from the sensor data from deployments of this system with groups of over 100 people.
