Spinner, a network of wearable sensors
“Spinner is a novel sensor network system designed to detect and capture fragmented events of human behavior that can be collected and sequenced into a cohesive narrative that conveys a larger overall meaning. Research into narratology will be performed in order to develop a parametric model of effective narratives that can be mapped onto sensor-detectable elements of human behavior. The network will be comprised of wearable sensors, environmental sensors, and video sensors that can identify and record events that fit specific narratives. Alternatively, the system can capture all events along with narrative meta-data for cataloging and browsing.”
