iScape Onboarding

The iScape onboarding. This project is a means to alleviate the issue of abandonment in IOT devices related to citizen science and civil sensing. This onboaridng is being used by Making Sense as a means to test the effectiveness of building communities around these grassroots initiatives. Currently supporting the SmartCitizen API and the new SmartCitizen Kit 1.5.

This is a web app that aims to solve key issues in the setup of open data sensors within grassroots smart-city communities through developing cognitive goals, such as fostering ownership, creating context, showing playful animations and simplifying language. This multi-lingual experience helps reduce the bottleneck of non-technical citizens installing IOT devices. This tool is currently being used in an EU Research Project.
