Tracking the angular movement of body joints has been a critical enabler for various applications, such as virtual and augmented reality, sports monitoring, and medical rehabilitation. MagDot is the first wearable system that achieves drift-free joint tracking. Experiment results indicate MagDot can achieve tracking accuracy of 2.72◦, 4.14◦, and 4.61◦ for elbow, knee, and shoulder, respectively.

Allowing cars to "see" road markings is crucial for traffic safety. However, road markings, e.g., lanes and pedestrian crossings, can be easily occluded by bad weather. METRO proposed a novel magnetic sensing approach to encode rich information with passive magnets. METRO is tested and verified on REAL-WORLD ROADS!

This work presents TurnsMap, an IoT + AI framework for automatically detecting if a left turn is safe, e.g., whether it has protection for left-turning cars. Democratizing this information can help assure traffic safety for various transportation applications, e.g., navigation and ride-sharing apps.

This work presents Dri-Fi, a solution that enables automotive apps to identify the person behind-the-wheel by only using mobile sensors. The capability of identifying driver is essential for personalized service/assistance for the driver and his/her designated parties, thus benefiting various automotive apps

LocBLE is able to locate specific location of any surrounding Bluetooth low energy (BLE) beacons by justing using your smartphone. Comparing to existing coarse-grained BLE ranging applications, LocBLE is capable of enabling various use cases in Internet-of-Things. This is a collaborative work with Hewlett Packard Labs during my internship.
