Sintesi	Face-to-face sensor data collection involves attaching or deploying sensors — physiological, motion, environmental, or proximity-based — on or around participants during in-person research sessions. The co-present setting allows direct researcher oversight of equipment, real-time signal monitoring, and immediate troubleshooting, yielding high-fidelity continuous or event-triggered data streams that capture objective behavioral and physiological indicators as they unfold.	Mobile sensor data collection uses the built-in sensors of smartphones, tablets, or wearable devices to capture behavioral, physiological, and environmental data in real-world settings. Sensors such as accelerometers, GPS, heart rate monitors, ambient light detectors, and microphones record data passively or on demand, enabling researchers to study human behavior with high temporal resolution outside the laboratory.
