Face-to-Face Proximity Estimation Using Bluetooth on Smart Phones PROJECT ID: ANDROID25 PROJECT NAME: Face-to-Face Proximity Estimation Using Bluetooth on Smart Phones PROJECT CATEGORY: MCA / BCA / BCCA / MCM / POLY / ENGINEERING PROJECT ABSTRACT: The availability of “always-on” communications has tremendous implications for how people interact socially. In particular, sociologists are interested in the question if such pervasive access increases or decreases face-to-face interactions. Unlike triangulation which seeks to precisely define position, the question of face-to-face interaction reduces to one of proximity, i.e., are the individuals within a certain distance? Moreover, the problem of proximity estimation is complicated by the fact that the measurement must be quite precise (1-1.5 m) and can cover a wide variety of environments. Existing approaches such as GPS and Wi-Fi triangulation are insufficient to meet the require...
