A mobile phone-based exploratory citizen sensing environment

Published:08 September 2013Publication History

ABSTRACT

Coping with ill-structured problems in a city involves continuous, opportunistic, and multi-perspective processes, which existing pervasive technologies for citizen participation cannot easily support. Based on two preliminary case studies, we propose Scene Memo, a mobile phone-based exploratory citizen-sensing environment that uses dynamically shared tags to provide social cues and scaffold participants.
