This summer I worked on creating an iPhone application for Sensorpedia. The goal of the project was to develop a software application that can be run on a mobile computing device and used to transmit distributed data readings from citizens and first responders in near-real time. This application will permit citizens to rapidly report event information, such as disaster occurrences, security anomalies, and accounts of emergencies. It will allow field users to contribute to Sensorpedia. It is currently in transition from the simulator to the hardware. Here is a presentation on the application (view full screen to see the presenter text):
Here is the poster I presented about it to the 2009 ORNL summer student poster session on August 5, 2009:
Thank you to David Resseguie for all of your help and ever-willing guidance, Bryan Gorman and the rest of CSED for being a great division to work with, ORNL and ORISE for allowing me to come back and live among the other summer students, and thank you to those funding Sensorpedia for making this sort of summer educational program possible. It has been a great summer; I am glad to have learned a host of new technical skills and am happy that I had the opportunity to put them to use for Sensorpedia.

Chris developed the iPhone application as part of his internship at ORNL this summer. But I’d love to see other platforms supported too!
