    PORTABLE SENSOR ATTACHMENT
    (SAITM Research Symposium, 2013) Chandrasiri, L. H. R. P; Abhayasinghe, N
    The rapid development of technology is placing an enormous demand for smart phones and similar devices as we are requiring more and more from these mobile devices. One of the major products which are becoming increasingly popular is the mobile phone. There are many sensors that may be used in such applications and some of which are: the accelerometer, digital compass, gyroscope, temperature, camera, etc. These sensors help enable new applications such as guiding systems, social network, health, gaming, entertainment, education, transportation, and many more. This paper presents the design, development and implementation of a portable sensor attachment that includes several sensors. The device includes sensors such as accelerometer, gyroscope, light level, atmospheric pressure, temperature and compass that may be used for human gait analysis, indoor/outdoor localization and navigation. This device can be coupled with any Bluetooth enable host device and data will be transferred to the host for further processing.
