Introduction
ContextKit is a sensing framework specially designed to perform large-scale sensing experiments with mobile devices.
It simplify the data collection from several sensors (both physical and virtual) to characterize the user context.
-
Ready to use
Include the library in your project and activate the features you need thourgh a simple configuration file.
-
Multiple Sensors
Supports the monitorging of physical sensors (e.g., accelerometer) and user interactions with her device.
-
Proximity
Discovers other devices and people in the nearby using both Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi Direct.

Datasets
List of datasets collected by using ContextKit:
-
ContextLabeler: a labeled dataset collected from commercial mobile devices of 3 volunteer users.
-
MyDigitalFootprint: combinations of smartphone-embedded sensors and Online Social Networks activities performed by 31 users within 2 months of sensing experiment. It also includes 3 sub-datasets already processed for three different applications: (i) social link prediction, (ii) user context recognition, and (iii) context-aware recommendations.
