Today’s smartphones have more computing power than the rockets that NASA used to send the man on to the moon. How to effectively leverage this computing power, and sensors to provide better app experience?.

In this talk, I will talk about how to better understand the user and delight him with the app experience by leveraging the processing power and built in sensors to create context aware and assistive apps.

Outline

In this talk I will dive deep into what it takes to build context aware android applications and how to make a transition from information age to experience age by using built in sensors in the smart phones. This talk will cover topics including but not limited to the use of awareness, snapshot and fence api to understand user’s location, time, weather, physical activity, beacons etc., to collectively derive the intelligence to deliver great user experience.
