The DNA sequencing is the process of identifying the exact order of nucleotides within a given DNA molecule. The new portable and relatively inexpensive DNA sequencers, such as Oxford Nanopore MinION, have the potential to move DNA sequencing outside of ...

As Virtual Reality (VR) Head Mounted Displays (HMD) push the boundaries of technology, in this paper, we try and answer the question, "What would it take to make the visual experience of a VR-HMD Life-Like, i.e., indistinguishable from physical reality?"...

Smartphone virtual reality (VR) can offer immersive experience while being affordable and easy to use. To enhance the VR experience under limited smartphone computation and battery resources, solutions have been proposed for efficient rendering and ...

Self-driving or autonomous vehicle systems are being designed over the world with increasing success in recent years. In spite of many advances so far, it is unlikely that such systems are going to ever achieve perfect accuracy under all conditions. In ...

As Augmented Reality (AR) ties closely to the physical world, its users looking at overlapped scenes are likely to be in the vicinity of each other, which naturally enables the collaboration and interaction among them. In this paper, we propose CARS (...

Recently, Augmented Reality (AR) applications have proved to help improve the efficiency in accomplishing assembly tasks. However, due to the lack of approaches to automatic workflow extraction, the existing AR-based assembly assistance applications ...

Continuous heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring in cars can allow ambient health monitoring and help track driver stress and fatigue. Current approaches that involve wearable or externally mounted sensors are accurate but inconvenient for the user. ...

With the proliferation of smartphones, children often use the same smartphones of their parents to play games or surf Internet, and can potentially access kid-unfriendly content from the Internet jungle. It is critical to employ parent patrol mechanisms ...

The widespread availability of Internet-of-Thing (IoT) devices, wearable sensors and smart watches have been promoting innovative activity recognition applications in our everyday lives. Recognizing dance steps with fine granularity using wearables is ...

Easily establishing pairing between Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices is important for fast deployment in many smart home scenarios. Traditional pairing methods, including passkey, QR code, and RFID, often require specific user interfaces, surface's ...

The mobile consumer market continues to demand new features, increased performance and extended battery life. These demands must be balanced with cost and other practical concerns. To create a successful next-generation product, we should carefully ...

Mobile browsers suffer from unnecessary cache misses. The same binary object is often named by multiple URLs which correspond to different cache keys. Furthermore, servers frequently mark objects as uncacheable, even though the objects' content is ...

In this paper, we consider the problem of mobilizing Spot Tasks, a special category of workflows within web-based enterprise applications. Spot tasks are simple workflows that can be finished by interacting with only one page of the application. We ...

Advertisement libraries are used in almost two-thirds of apps in Google Play. To increase economic revenue, some app developers tend to entice mobile users to unexpectedly click ad views during their interaction with the app, resulting in kinds of ad ...

Advances in vision processing have ignited a proliferation of mobile vision applications, including augmented reality. However, limited by the inability to rapidly reconfigure sensor operation for performance-efficiency tradeoffs, high power consumption ...

This paper identifies and empirically evaluates the effectiveness of adversarial localization attacks against wireless IoT devices, e.g., wireless security cameras in the home. We use experiments in home and office settings to show that attackers can ...

Many researchers in academia and industry [4, 8] advocate shifting processing near the image sensor through near-sensor accelerators to reduce data movement across energy-expensive interfaces. However, near-sensor processing also heats the sensor, ...

In many parts of the world, people have limited access to basic needs such as clean water, consistent electricity and healthcare. In these environments, having access to the web can be transformative for them and their communities, as it provides ...

We present Hermes, a hypervisor for MMU-less microcontrollers. Hermes enables high-performance bare metal applications to coexist with RTOSes and other less time-critical software on a single CPU. We experimentally demonstrate that a real-time operating ...

We present iTrack, a system which steers mmWave beams at mobile devices by tracking the indicator LEDs on wireless APs to passively acquire direction estimates, and demonstrate that iTrack acquires and maintains beam alignment at the narrowest beamwidth ...

Due to their omnipresence, mobile devices such as smartphones could be tremendously valuable to researchers. However, since research projects can extract data about device owners that could be personal or sensitive, there are substantial privacy ...
