Why WideNoise?
TODAY TOMORROWMobile 2.0: iPhone + Android.Social electronics.Social networks as aggregators.Shift from hardware to software.
Connected objects and sensors will evolve in a global realtime Internet of Things.
Both machines and people are required as core elements of the next generation infrastructures.The Internet of Things will be anticipated by an Advanced Mobility phase where mobile phones are equipped with sensors.
SPIME = SPace + tIME
A new category of objects aware of their surroundings.

Bruce Sterling defined a spime as:
What is WideNoise?
Noise is pollution as well.
We live surrounded by all kinds of sound
around us.
We are accustomed to this continuous background noise.
Still, we feel relieved when that stressful noise disappears.
An often ignored form of pollution.
WideNoise helps you better understand the
soundscape around you.
WideNoise is an early form of SPIME.
Distributed on the Apple App Store
How is WideNoise designed?
Simplicity
Ergonomy
Green
CORE DESIGN DRIVERS:
Social
Reading UI designed to be nice and to aid comprehension of
noise.
Reporting UI calibrated to minimize “test” behavior and fake
results.
Appealing, but not too much to harm the results.
Ergonomy
See with your own eyes the noise around you.
Read the aggregated noise data from all the
world.
Share the noise you’re getting on
social media.
WideNoise raises awareness on noise pollution.
Green
Take a noise sample.
The data is social, shared in the cloud.
Social
blogs
Everything happens at the push of a button.
Simplicity
Noise analysis
GPS Location
Cloud uploading
Social sharing
Seems simple... because it’s designed to be simple.
Each sound level is represented as a symbolic noise emitter:
10db 20db 30db 40db 50db 60db 70db 80db 90db 100db 110db 120db
Nobody knows how much noise is “65db”, but everyone knows the noise level of a TV!
A sleeping cat and a green hue: living here will be nice.
A TV and a yellow hue: I will stay just
as long as I need to.
A car and an orange hue: I will probably
try to avoid this area.
What is the platform?
