9. Image and activity data to study pollution exposure http://www-ramanathan.ucsd.edu/ProjectSurya.html In collaboration with UCSD, SRU and TERI in India Characterize Outdoor Activities Infer Duration of Exposure Collect Indoor Pollution Levels Bluetooth temperature sensor Phone + GPS, accelerometer Special soot filter
10. Active Image Collection for citizen science http://www.windows.ucar.edu/citizen_science/budburst In collaboration with the ongoing citizen science initiative known as BudBurst
11. Reflecting on and learning from personal mobility Cyclesense combines location data and users’ photos to give bikers daily feedback and suggestions on the quality and safety of their commutes. In PEIR , the combination of location, time, and activity are automatically interpreted using regional air quality models to estimate participants’ exposure to particulate matter. http://peir.cens.ucla.edu/ http://urban.cens.ucla.edu/projects/cyclesense/
12. Audio and location collection to recall family interactions http://urban.cens.ucla.edu/projects/familydynamics/ http://www.kt.tu-cottbus.de/speech-analysis/ http://urban.cens.ucla.edu/projects/familydynamics/ In collaboration with the Semel Institute
15. Design to Maximize Trust and Participation Design Theme : Involve rather than burden the user by designing systems that are easy to use and understand. Design Theme : Validate data.
18. Passive Image Collection for Diet Recall Studies http://urban.cens.ucla.edu/projects/dietsense/ In collaboration with the public health department at UCLA
