Urban Sensor and Urban Data Creation 


2020, Urban Planning
Tools: Arduino, Arduino IDE, R
“Public Life”--people’s daily interactions within the built environment (Gehl 2011) has been transformed by the urban spaces. Commonly-accepted theories in environmental psychology and planning  became increasingly limited -- limited by time and space. My project, Playground Pulse, adivised by Dr. Anthony Vanky, uses motion sensors to explore creative ways where sensing technologies facilitate public space and social interactions in the context of a pandemic. In responding to the Covid-19 Pandemic, New York City shut down many public facilities, including public playgrounds in April 2020. Playground Pulse was developed in the mist of the city shut down, aiming to explore issues related to spaital and environemntal justice.
