ICSA Colloquium Talk - 30/05/2023

Title: Advancing Wearable Sensing: Integrating the Physical and Cyber Worlds

Abstract: Wearable devices are at the forefront of ubiquitous mobile computing and sensing, profoundly shaping the interfaces between our physical and digital experiences. Enhanced by the leaps in AI and embedded computing technologies, we now witness the dawn of a new generation of wearable systems that harness multi-modal data for the creation of intelligent applications in ubiquitous environments. This talk will delve into a suite of innovative applications powered by wearable technologies, specifically focusing on their exploitation of bodily electrical potentials and acoustic signals.
