“ I feel like we have had good feedback , people spending longer outside , more time in the fresh air and walking for a bit longer ”

“ In the Smart Sensing Lab , everything we build is targeted at a specific user or collaborator . So we don ' t want to keep things in academic papers . We don ' t want to keep them in the lab . We want them out in the wild – in the hands of users .”
The Lab ’ s work is not going unrecognised . NTU has nominated “ Tag With Me ” for its the research project of the year submission to the Times Higher Education Project , selecting this project above others from the university . Prof Kanjo is suitably humble about their chances .
“ They have chosen Tag With Me because it has very strong connection with end user organisations , including the county council , the park management and the hospital . So hopefully , we will have good chance , but you never know .”
Once you see the Tag With Me platform in operation , in the hands of people , and see the difference it can make to bring any location or activity to life , you really do sense the possibilities that the technology brings . Watch this space to see how Smart Sensing Labs continues to improve lives .
