How to Change the World with a Sensor: One citizen at a time

On May 21, 2011

Are five senses really enough?

What could you do if you had, say, 10 senses?

Why limit yourself?

Citizen Sensor is an open hardware project that uses Arduino, Android and multiple sensors to monitor anything from air quality to noise pollution. Data is collected via sensors hooked up to an Arduino and uploaded through a mobile Android app to the cloud.

Citizen Sensor has limitless potential for applications far from its intended use – listen to the show and you may realize half way through that your next project needs a couple more senses.

P.S. Did I mention that this project was born from a masters thesis and now is part of the New York Hall of Science summer camp curriculum?
