  • Publication number: 20210124980
    Abstract: Systems and methods for capturing group experiences are described. Raw data logs from a plurality of user devices are received. Datasets from each raw data log are preprocessed. Dominant features for each dataset are extracted. The datasets are comparatively analyzed across raw data logs to determine common features in the datasets. The dominant and common features are then stored. Systems include wearable networks, user devices, a group event server and various datastores.
