Research's IaaC - Urban Feeds at Smart Geometry 2011

Urban Feeds is a project developed at Smart Geometry 2011 in Copenhagen.  The project has been developed at the Fab Lab Barcelona, based on the Personal Data Collection, through the use of the ASKits (Ambient Sensing Kit) devices, previously developed by LaN and upgraded for the workshop. Any person, anywhere, could produce its own devices to sense and quantify those variables that are surrounding us, that affect our behavior and the way we inhabit our world. Centralized data sources offers a top to bottom approach to the values of our environment, by developing the ASKits, the aim is to get a closer look into our immediate environment, from Static Kits installed in houses to personal kits embedded into our SmartPhones.

The project has been based on the use of the Arduino platform, and different shields and sensor units for data capturing. At the moment is evolving to the use of FabDuinos, being able to be produced entirely in a Fab Lab.
