funf | Open Sensing Framework

Social and Behavioral Sensing Framework

For Android Devices

The Funf Open Sensing Framework is an extensible sensing and data processing framework for mobile devices being developed at the MIT Media Lab. The core concept is to provide an open source, reusable set of functionalities, enabling the collection, uploading, and configuration of a wide range of data types.

Implemented Funf data probes include:

GPS
Location
WLAN
Accelerometer
Bluetooth

Cell tower ID
Call log
SMS log
Browser history
Contacts

Running apps
Installed apps
Screen on/off state
Battery status
And many more...

Funf Journal

Collect, Export, Analyze

An Android application built using the Funf framwork, which makes use of many of its built-in features.

Funf Journal can be used by researchers, self-trackers, or anyone interested in collecting and exploring information related to the mobile device, its environment, and its user's behavior.

Human Dynamics

MIT Media Lab

The Funf Open Sensing Framework is developed and maintained at MIT Media Lab's Human Dynamics group.

We develop mathematical models to better understand how people and communities organize and operate, and how things like news, ideas, habits, or diseases propagate through a social network. We are also investigating ways to help people make use of the knowledge collected by their mobile phones and aggregate collective data to improve their lives in constructive ways.
