SensHome: Towards a Corpus for Everyday Activities in Smart Homes

We present our planned efforts within the SensHome project in building a corpus of daily activities in smart environments. The recordings consisting of measurable events as provided by the instrumentation along with video and audio recordings. SensHome foresees a threestep development where the instrumentation is verified in a dual-reality setting followed by recording in controlled environments. Finally, the recordings will be done under real circumstances.
