  How have MITes/Wockets been used?

So far, the prototype versions of Wockets have only been used by the MIT development team. The Wockets predecessor sensors, though, Mobile MITes, have been used for:

  • Ubiquitous computing research (MIT)
  • Multiple studies on the a automatic and real-time detection of physical activity and energy expenditure (MIT, Stanford Medical School, Boston Medical Center/BU, Vanderbilt University)
  • Detecting "good" times to interrupt on mobile phones (MIT)
  • A system to encourage medication adherence (MIT)
  • Research on automatic detection of stereotypies in autistic children (MIT, URI, and the Groden Center)
  • Research on robotics (Shimizu Corporation)
  • Experiments on posture and furniture (Steelcase Corporation)
  • A system to encourage less television watching (MIT)
If you have used Mobile MITes for a project, please send us an email and let us know the details.
