Muhtasari	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.	Sensor data collection uses physical or digital instruments to automatically capture quantitative measurements from the environment, human bodies, or machines over time. Common sensors measure temperature, motion, heart rate, location, light, sound, or chemical properties. Because the recording is automated and continuous, the method can produce high-frequency datasets with minimal researcher burden, making it central to IoT, environmental monitoring, wearable research, and behavioral studies.
