  • Title: Pollution Lights
  • What is the sensor technology, how does it relate to the qualities studied within the theoretical framework and phenomena, and who does it serve? (Please answer in one sentence) The sensors capture air (concentration) and noise (decibals) data and immediately relay the information to the public as different colored lights.

  • How does the sensor data used by people? The data can be used to warn people if the space is safe to use during times of high traffic use.

Sensor/s used:

  • Arduino Sound Detection Sensor

Interaction location:

  • Situated technology on site

Actuation:

  • The sensor actuates the lights on poles, the lights on the ground and the water fountain.

Information Type:

  • The water fountain turns on/off and the color changes on the poles.

Interaction Type Variable (Prameter):

  • On/off of water and color of lights.
