Open Badges: Open Measurement and Feedback Tools for Human Interaction

Principal Investigator Alex 'Sandy' Pentland

Project Website http://rhythm.mit.edu/


We present Open Badges, an open-source framework and toolkit for measuring and shaping face-to-face social interactions using either custom hardware devices or smart phones, and real-time web-based visualizations. Open Badges is a modular system that allows researchers to monitor and collect interaction data from people engaged in real-life social settings.
