This class was last offered in 2012.

The goal of this class is to provide a hands-on introduction to ubiquitous computing applications. It is meant to be taken in conjunction with the Ubiquitous Computing lecture, which will provide the theoretical background. Topics covered are:

  • Embedded Systems programming (Arduino)
  • Mobile programming (Android)
  • RFID

The students work in teams to build a ubiquitous computing application consisting of sensing, communicating, and actuating.
