Pervasive Computing

In the last few decades, computing has moved beyond the domain of bulky desktops and can now be found embedded all around us, in the form of sensors, wearables, mobile devices.

 

In this video, Professor Archan Misra introduces two projects:

1. Batteryless wearables that can be charged via beamforming technology

2. Fine grained monitoring of weight stack based exercises, with the use of a simple sensor.

 

Prof Archan Misra is a Professor of Information Systems, Associate Dean (Research), and Director of the Centre for Smart Nation Analytics (CASA).
