Chapter 28
Handbook of Research on Socio-Technical Design and Social Networking Systems

Proximity and pressure sensors tell us about the location of inhabitants. Such sensors allow us to track the inhabitants and their activities in the environment. Devices that measure physiological information, including brain activity, can provide detailed information about the affective state of a user.
