Immersion in a digital world, controlling technology in your home from the other side of the world, using tiny sensors knitted into shirts to track vital parameters all day long – these all sound rather futuristic, however are increasingly becoming a reality in our everyday lives. Driven by the miniaturization of electrical devices, our clothing and, in fact, our environment is becoming smarter, enabling a fantastic platform for innovation. Students of the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU) are able to use this platform by visiting the Innovation Lab for Wearable and Ubiquitous Computing, funded by the Center for Digitalization Bavaria. (ZD.B - https://zentrum-digitalisierung.bayern/).
The Innovation Lab is located at the Technical Faculty of the FAU in Prof. Bjoern Eskofier’s Machine Learning and Data Analytics Lab, providing the students with the infrastructure needed to develop innovative prototypes. The ideas for these prototypes will originate from the students, researchers in related fields and industry partners.
The Innovation Lab for Wearable and Ubiquitous Computing is a project funded by the Center for Digitalization Bavaria. The goal of this project is the implementation of a practical course, where students develop innovative prototypes in the fields of Wearable and Ubiquitous Computing by applying agile development techniques. The project ideas originate from three sources: the students themselves, researcher or external industry partners.
