Citizen-oriented Citizen Science
Minimal Intrusiveness (StreetBump) Space/Time Alerts (on-demand data) Leverage Self-interest Provide relevant Feedback Make it fun!
2 IDEAS to FOLLOW UP ON… (grants)
SensorDomo• Allows Javascript programs to run on
mobile phones
• Quick deployment of new apps
• Apps installable directly from web
sites
• Allows apps to “subscribe” to
sensors
• Data is uploaded automatically
• Includes machine vision module
CitizenPipe
• Citizen Scientist picks from a MENU of possible contributions
• Data is collected on demand (w/ reminders)• SensorDomo apps aid in data collection• Data is forwarded to ALL interested institutions/programs• Feedback is personalized through dashboard widgets
