Sensor journalism leverages inexpensive computers, sensors and open source code to crowdsource community data collection. Examples discussed include deploying sensors under chairs at a conference to track body heat and sound, tracking cicada emergence with $80 DIY sensors built by 1,500 participants, and monitoring air quality around factories and during the 2008 Beijing Olympics with sensor networks. Popular platforms like Arduino Uno make sensor journalism more accessible with kits starting at $29 for the computer and $35 for basic sensors and wires. The next frontier is sensing people with their permission using devices like smartwatches.
