Cityware: Mapping social encounters using Bluetooth
Vassilis
Kostakos (Bath University)
Abstract:
As part of the Cityware project, we are
attempting to understand the various layers of cities, including their
spatial and social layers.
To explore cities social layers, we spent the last 2 years
collecting data on people's mobility and encounter using Bluetooth. We will present a number of demos that
visualise Bluetooth data both in realtime and
post-hoc. Additionally we will present
Cityware for Facebook, an
application that lets users merge their online social networks with their
physical networks of copresence and encounter.
