# Sixth Sense 
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Clock displaying just the right information at the right time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Experimental clock face. It aims to display just the right importation
|
||
|
|
at the right time, with focus on various sensors. Normally, digital
|
||
|
|
clock, date and step count in kilometers is displayed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It saves a lot of logs for debugging and future use. In particular, it
|
||
|
|
saves battery and step counters all the time, and GPS positions
|
||
|
|
whenever it is enabled. You may not want to use it if you are secret
|
||
|
|
agent or journalist in Iran.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Application can be controled by gestures, making control possible in
|
||
|
|
challenging conditions such as on horseback. Gestures are based on
|
||
|
|
morse code, left half of screen is for ".", right half of screen is
|
||
|
|
for "-". Gesture should always start in the upper half of screen. If
|
||
|
|
next symbol is same, drag vertically, else drag horizontally.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Power saving GPS mode is available, suitable for hiking. GPS fix is
|
||
|
|
acquired once every few minutes, and written into the log. Approximate
|
||
|
|
distance travelled is displayed. Due to only taking fix every few
|
||
|
|
minutes, real distance will be usually higher than approximation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Useful gestures:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
F -- disable GPS.
|
||
|
|
G -- enable GPS for 4 hours.
|
||
|
|
N -- take a note and write it to the log.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When application detects watch is being worn, it will use vibrations
|
||
|
|
to communicate back to the user.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
E -- acknowledge, gesture understood.
|
||
|
|
T -- start of new hour.

## Future Development
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I'd like to expand GPS development more, allowing marking of waypoints
|
||
|
|
and navigating back to them. I'd also like to make power-saving
|
||
|
|
optional.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I'd also like to utilize the altimeter more, likely remembering
|
||
|
|
altitude of home location, automatically correcting for pressure every
|
||
|
|
night.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I'd like to make display nicer, and likely more dynamic, displaying
|
||
|
|
whatever application believes is most important at the time (and
|
||
|
|
possibly allowing scrolling).
