Wearable Sensing for Longitudinal Automatic Task Analysis

A day in your life can be described in terms of a series of tasks: you begin each task, become loaded to some extent by the objects, movements, communication and/or mental challenges required by that task, then you later switch to a new task, and so on. However, methods for task analysis to date, such as the diary method are manual, post-hoc and subjective, and therefore impossible to scale for large numbers of users or to directly interface with computing systems.
