This week we're focusing on telemetry. Telemetry is a really critical part of ubiquitous computing systems; it's the label for how we collect, transport and store data collected both through sensors and from people. Telemetry supports context building, which can improve the awareness of particular applications. But there are limitations to telemetry too – we have to make sure that what we can measure is a reliable proxy for what we want to understand. We also have to be attuned to the massive privacy implications of mass automated telemetry collection.

Week 10 – Cecchinato et al. Reading
This is a reading of Cecchinato et al.'s short paper "Smartwatches: the good, the bad and the ugly?" The full text of this paper is available at: https://doi.org/10.1145/2702613.2732837
Week 10 – Wearables
This week we are introducing the concept of wearable computing. We will cover some of the challenges of developing wearables from technical and non-technical perspective. We'll also talk a little about 'Wear OS by Google' (which is Google's rebranded 'Android Wear'). Smartwatches in particular were predicted to have had an explosion in use; they've not disappeared by any means, but they've not become the next 'must have' that everyone keeps with them all the time. Why is this?
Week 9 – Chan et al. reading
This is a reading of Chan et al.'s excellent paper on microgesture elicitation. You can access a PDF of the reading from Canvas or from the ACM.

Week 9 – Gesture-based computing
Back in Week 2 we talked about the challenges of interaction in mobile and ubiquitous computing contexts. And this week we're coming back to it in a different way – gestures. Gestures are often thought of as being a natural part of communication. Could they be a good fit for contexts were a keyboard and mouse is not really appropriate? This week we'll be covering some of the conceptual aspects surrounding gesture-based computing as well as some of the technical challenges involved.
