Common Sense is developing several prototypes of mobile air quality sensing devices, which would enable citizens to produce their own data. "We hope our project will illustrate ways in which everyday citizens can use sensing technologies to conduct citizen science and participate in the political process". Even if the project does a great effort in the design of the products, we belive that the participatory process should be designed as well in order to be able to produce certain effects.
The Common Sense team is a large multidisciplinary group around Berkley University, Nokia and University of Michigan.
