milab is a laboratory at the Cognitive Systems Section at DTU Informatics offering an environment for research and teaching in the areas of mobile context awareness, media modeling, and user experiences. Advanced mobile phones and internet tablets are available for application prototype development and experiments, along a set of useful tools.


Gesture and context-based navigation of mobile services

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.

Three days of Maemo/Qt mobile hacking

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.

Successful launch of Mobile Minds

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.

Your mobile phone know everything about you

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.

Successful poster session

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!
