Status: Ongoing
We propose the use of a wearable electronic badge
capable of automatically measuring the amount of face-to-face interaction,
conversational time, physical proximity to other people,
and physical activity levels using social signals derived from vocal
features, body motion, and relative location to capture individual
and collective patterns of behavior. Our goal is to be able
to understand how patterns of behavior shape individuals and
organizations. We attempt to use on-body sensors in large groups
of people for extended periods of time in naturalistic settings for
the purpose of identifying, measuring, and quantifying social
interactions, information flow, and organizational dynamics.
