Poster: Design and Evaluation of Participatory Mobile Sensing Platform for Diverse Sensing and Gamification Scenarios

Abstract

Participatory sensing is attracting the attention as a popular method for sensing the environment or people. However, this method has some problems such as sensing accuracy and sustainability problem, because participants of this sensing method are the general public. Therefore, there is a need to focus on these two essential components: 1) a data correction system which can calibrate sensors and measurement environments, 2) a motivation generating system which prevents users from stopping or lack of motivation for the participation. We propose a ``Participatory Mobile Sensing Platform'' that project owners can recompose freely these components.
