Urban Atmospheres: How wireless technologies affect our urban landscape
Eric Paulos
Research Scientist, Intel
Urban Atmospheres captures a unique synergistic moment#8212expanding
urban populations, rapid adoption of Bluetooth mobile devices, tiny ad
hoc sensor networks, and the widespread influence of wireless
technologies across our growing urban landscapes. We argue that now is
the time to initiate inspirational research into the very essence of
these newly emerging technological urban spaces. We desire to move
towards an improved understand of the emotion experience of urban life.
We propose the adoption of Urban Probes#8212a lightweight, provocative
intervention technique designed to rapidly deconstruct urban situations,
reveal new opportunities for technology in urban spaces and guide future
long term research into urban computing. This talk will feature an
overview of several probes.
