Abstract :
We describe experiments in recognizing a person´s situation from only a wearable camera and microphone. The types of situations considered in these experiments are coarse locations (such as at work, in a subway or in a grocery store) and coarse events (such as in a conversation or walking down a busy street) that would require only global, non-attentional features to distinguish them.
