EveryAware will present its research results at the CeBIT Hannover, the world’s biggest IT fair, from 10-14 March, 2014. You will find us at the Joint venture area of the research booth of the Federal State of the Lower Saxony in Hall 9 C 28.
At this year’s CeBIT, the L3S demonstrates the EU-coordinated-project EveryAware organized by the team of our members Prof. Gerd Stumme (University Kassel) and Prof. Andreas Hotho (Universität Würzburg) which provides the newest insights from the area of event-based sensing.
The EveryAware project helps citizens to collect, share and understand their environment focusing mainly on noise and air pollution data. The developed platform allows for organizing games as well as collecting and estimating environmental information. This new way of accessing environmental information can trigger changes in the citizens’ behavior due to an extended awareness of their environmental situation. In addition, the collected data will help researchers to understand the connection between objective ecological data and the citizens’ perception of their environment. In this way researchers will get insights into the underlying processes. To enable air measurements by any citizen and to allow for scientific experiments, an affordable low-cost sensor solution in combination with a smartphone and a web service have been developed.

Documentation for Air Ambassadors
Since the start of the second phase is approaching, we have prepared a few documents that will help our Air Ambassadors getting familiar with the sensor box and the AirProbe app:
AirProbe Documentation – features and usage of AirProbe.
Measurement Protocol – usage of the sensor box and the basic measuring protocol.
SensorBoxTechnicalSpecs – some technical details about the sensor box, for those with a taste for engineering.
Enjoy!
Für APIC brauchen wir immernoch Air Ambassadors, die mit eigens dafür gefertigten Sensorboxen und den dazugehörigen Smartphone Apps, Luftmessungen aufnehmen und Air Guardians rekrutieren. Dabei könnt ihr bis zu 620€ gewinnen! Die Anmeldung ist bis zum 29.10.2013, 23:59 Uhr möglich. Schreibt dazu an: apic@cs.uni-kassel.de!
Für diese Challenge brauchen wir deine Unterstützung!

Air Guardians: Das Onlinespiel
Als Teilnehmer des Onlinespiels bist du Air Guardians deiner Stadt. In jeder Phase des Spiels versuchst du die Luftverschmutzung in deinem Gebiet abzuschätzen und dadurch Punkte zu sammeln. Du kannst dein Gebiet erweitern und Achievements ergattern. Dabei stehst du immer in Konkurenz zu deinen Mitspielern und kannst dich in verschiedenen Ranglisten mit ihnen vergleichen. Als Air Guardians kannst du außerdem den einzelnen Teams der Air Ambassadors beitreten, um diese zu unterstützen.
Mehr Informationen zum Spiel und den Preisen hier:
Air Guardians – das Onlinespiel
Air Ambassadors – das Offlinespiel
Anmeldung an:
apic@cs.uni-kassel.de
Deine Hauptaufgaben als Air Ambassadors sind es mit den Sensorboxen möglichst oft weitflächige Luftverschmutzungsmessungen aufzunehmen und Air Guardians zu rekrutieren. Den Air Ambassadors winken dabei Preise im Wert von bis zu 620€!
