Project Aircare

Air quality IoT pod, cloud database stream API, and Visualization Tool.

Motivation

• Identify trouble spots in an urban center and remedy

Sensor hardware

Ideas:

• How to DIY a Cheap Air Particulate Sensor #CitizenScience I know I’ve spent the last couple of weeks talking about water monitoring devices, so this week I’m changing it up with an air particulate sensor I discovered at Hackster.io.

Cloud Database

Datum structure

• timestamp (millisecond)
• float: particulate sensor measurement: 0.0 to 1.0 where 1.0 is no light detected
• GPS coords
• float: height above sea level

Visualization tool

• Meteor
  • API queries database
  • Google maps API (2D top down view)
  • THREE.js (?) for 3D visualization
