Abstract
The Ubicorder is a mobile, location and orientation
aware device for browsing and interacting with real-time sensor
network data. In addition to browsing data, the Ubicorder also
provides a graphical user interface (GUI) that users can use to
define inference rules. These inference rules detect sensor data
patterns, and translate them to higher-order events. Rules can
also be recursively combined to form an expressive and robust
vocabulary for detecting real-world phenomena, thus enabling
users to script higher level and relevant responses to distributed
sensor stimuli. The Ubicorder’s mobile, handheld form-factor
enables users to easily bring the device to the phenomena of
interest, hence simultaneously observe or cause real-world stimuli
and manipulate in-situ the event detection rules easily using its
graphical interface. In a first-use user study, participants without
any prior sensor network experience rated the Ubicorder highly
for its usefulness and usability when interacting with a sensor
network.
