The most common way of measuring activity is with pedometers that counts steps. These devices to show for instance the distance walked, make the calculation multiplying the number of steps by the average step lenght.

There is now a new device named WalkinSense, from a company named Tomorrow Options that measures (real) distance walked, like for example the distance driven shown in our cars. The device also counts steps, but by opposition to the pedometers, it calculates the average step lenght, dividing the distance walked by the number of steps. So, it is more efficient to measure human activity.
