Diagrams and 3D models showcasing mobile technologies devices used in research, such as wearables, nearables, intermittent wearables, and smartphone sensors.
- Click on an illustration from the list below.
- Each illustration contains a README file with a preview and detailed description, a source directory with the original files, and an output directory with ready-to-view exports.
- Whenever possible, we use open source or defacto industry-standard formats for interoperability.
- Wearable Device Types by Body Part. A human body annotated with common types of consumer-grade wearables used in research. This 3D model has clickable areas on different body parts that display the device types that can be worn on that area.
- Device Integration Diagrams. Interactive maps of integration/compatibility between wearables, nearables, and other mobile devices.
- 2024 MeTRIC Symposium Mobile Device Gallery. Interactive Sway presentation showcasing wearables, nearables and other mobile tech.
- Documentation for this project is available at the Eisenberg Family Depression Center's Knowledge Base.
- 3D models are published on Sketchfab under the Mobile Technologies for Research Illustrations collection.
