New project: "mSense Middleware"

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 15:08:34 GMT

The mSense Middleware provides a novel and powerful way to access sensor information on smartphones. A Facebook context-publishing demo showcases all the concepts present in the middleware: first, sensor information is collected from various built-in sensors like the accelerometer, magnetometer (compass) or GPS, as well as simulated sensors, user data (calendar, etc.) and input from web services like weather information. The data is then aggregated into sensor channels, which again provide an output that can be interconnected to an internal processing network. The results can then be used for various tasks or outputs, like an intertial navigation unit or to publish the user's context information to social networks like Facebook.

New project: "Mobile Dictionary"

Sun, 14 Jun 2009 11:54:45 GMT

Mobile Dictionary is a very early prototype of a dictionary application for S60 devices. Its big advantage is that it's able to use standard dictionaries that can be downloaded for free from freedict.org. The main goal of this project was to work with those dictionaries as a base for possible future projects, so the end user interface as well as the search is not what you might expect of a normal freeware / commercial dictionary application. Nevertheless, it might be worth trying if if you need a simple dictionary that works on standard dictionary files.
