The science portal Videnskab.dk has an article about a recent master's thesis project carried out at DTU Informatics by Esben von Buchwald. The thesis deals with the issue of easily accessing relevant information or services on your mobile phone. A prototype application using context-information based on GPS and Compass sensors, and detection of gestures was developed, enabling easy browsing of information about nearby restaurants, cinema, and train schedules, simply by pointing at them with your mobile phone.

Come and join us in Mobile Minds on February 2.

We had three interesting days on Maemo and Qt mobile development in a packed Bojesen Axelborg in the center of Copenhagen.

The interest in the event was overwhelming and the mobile developers that had signed up for the event was in for a pleasant surprise. We are looking forward to be seeing the resulting mobile applications on the Maemo platform and N900 device.

DTU Informatics and Forum Nokia are inviting participants for the Maemo Developer Day & Forum Nokia Qt for Mobile Developers training in Copenhagen November 18-20.

This training focuses on C++ programming and GUI application development using Qt cross-platform libraries. The training is targeted to developers interested in Qt-based SW development. Qt mobility features are described using Qt Maemo port.

As space is limited, registrations is on a first-come, first-served basis. This training is free of charge. Information about registration, training content, prerequisites and pre-study materials can be found on the Forum Nokia website.

We will be looking forward to be seeing you in Copenhagen in November!

On Oct 6 we had a very successful launch of Mobile Minds at DTU. The interest was overwhelming and we even got interest from people outside DTU even though we did not do anything to market the event beyond DTU boundaries. We had good response and suggestions from the participants and we will be looking forward to the next Mobile Minds Monthly Meetup on November 3.

There is only a few days left before the launch of Mobile Minds at DTU.

The purpose is to create a community of people at DTU with an interest in mobile applications, design, innovation, or implementation.

More information about the community and registration is available at the Mobile Minds website.

That's how our research on mobile context-aware applications is phrased in an article at the danish science portal videnskab.dk. The article discusses a few examples of some of the recent mobile application proof-of-concept prototypes done in the lab. The examples include our context-aware image gallery for mobile phones, which semi-automatically annotate photos taken with context information (when, where, who) and LifeStatus - an application that aims to translate low-level sensor input from the mobile devices into phrases describing your current context, which the user can share on a social network, such as Facebook.

The Mobile Context Toolbox (paper and poster/demo) was presented at the 4th European Conference on Smart Sensing and Context (EuroSSC2009), September 16-18 2009 at the Centre for Communication Systems Research, The University of Surrey, Guildford, UK.

On October 6 we will be launching the Mobile Minds at DTU – a community of people at DTU with an interest in mobile applications, design, innovation, or implementation.

More information about the community and registration is available at the Mobile Minds website.

The CO2PENHAGEN website mentions the mobile applications that are going to be used at the CO2PENHAGEN festival, including games to showcase new technologies, to create environmental awareness, and to encourage interaction and experience sharing at the festival.

A new 5 ECTS project-oriented course (02829) with the title 'Personalized and context-aware mobile applications' is going to be taught in the fall.

The overall course objective is to enable students to independently design and implement personalized and context-aware mobile applications.

The course description is now available in the Coursebase along with other courses involving mobile aspects.

On April 22 we had a successful poster session where the students in course 02827 - mobile application prototype development presented posters describing their mobile application projects.

16 interesting mobile applications are being developed within areas such as, context awareness, social networking and experience sharing, locating points-of-interests or friends, multi-player games, and more…

Good luck on the exam!
