Abstract

Light sensors can provide valuable information about environmental exposure; however, current light sensing packages are limited. This work presents the development of an open-source hardware device capable of logging light measurements. Due to its lightweight, wearable construction, it is well-suited to human subject research in naturalistic conditions. Its low cost makes it a viable option for population studies. This work offers an example application of objectively determining whether a person is indoors or outdoors based on the light measurements. This application has practical value within disciplines such as environmental and health psychology, which seek to relate psychological outcomes to environmental exposure.

摘要

光传感器可以提供有关环境暴露的宝贵信息；然而，当前的光传感组件存在局限性。这项工作展示了一种能够记录光测量数据的开源硬件设备的开发。由于其轻巧、可穿戴的构造，它非常适合在自然条件下对人类受试者进行研究。其低成本使其成为人群研究的一个可行选择。这项工作提供了一个基于光测量客观确定一个人是在室内还是室外的示例应用。该应用在环境和健康心理学等学科中具有实际价值，这些学科试图将心理结果与环境暴露联系起来。
