Description
Summary:Over the years, smartphones that integrate sensors have enabled many novel mobile capabilities. This article examines the trend in sensor-based applications, and where it might ultimately lead us. —Roy Want As smartphones get smarter by utilizing new intelligence in the phone and the cloud, they’ll start to understand our life patterns, reason about our health and well-being, help us navigate through our day, and intervene on our behalf.
