19:22 < tmetro-> Talk: Android sensors
19:29 < tmetro-> Location Service API
19:43 < tmetro-> For each sensor there is a raw version of the data, which can
                 be hardware-specific, and a virtualized version, which
                 processes the data and provides it through a consistent API.
19:51 < tmetro-> Problems with sensor data: noise, calibration
19:56 < tmetro-> Audio analysis: can be used to detect claps
20:01 < tmetro-> Or singing (sustained tone)
20:04 < tmetro-> Image processing using the camera: for example, focus, capture
                 image, reduce size, get rid of unnecessary color info, find
                 biggest continuous block.
20:09 < tmetro-> Speech recognition: recognizing hard to recognize words
20:26 < tmetro-> NFC - Near Field Communication
20:28 < tmetro-> NFC tags often are packaged as stickers. Have a range of a few
                 inches or less. Some are writable and can store a small bit of
                 data, like a URL.
20:36 < tmetro-> App is Android Sensor Playground
20:47 < tmetro-> Talk over
