Wearables : Projects in this area can be software or hardware. In terms of software, our work centers around trying to expand the range of activities that wearable devices can recognize from things like steps walked and calories burned to daily health activities such as brushing teeth, washing hands, etc. This is primarily done using Android and Pebble apps to collect data, and then analyzing that data using machine learning . One area for projects would be to use machine learning to recognize other such activities (not necessarily health).

Due Date:  Sept 4, 2017 Overview Throughout the semester you will be writing short blogs in order to keep track of assigned readings and your project's development. Maintaining a blog will help you stay organized and to continually analyze your work.

While there are several blogging services available, it's recommended that everyone uses the Blogger  service for consistency.
