The Porcupine is a small wearable sensory unit for logging motion data and doing low-level activity recognition. The project includes electronic schematics for the hardware, software for the microcontroller and client-side software for hardware-interaction.
It is designed to:
- be worn 24/7, without changing or recharging batteries in between
- sense the physical actions of the user: what is the wearer doing?
- record what it senses non-stop for weeks, with a minimum of user interaction
