Technology demo: Project Eclipse: Hyperlocal air quality monitoring for cities
Project Eclipse is a full-stack solution for neighborhood scale air quality monitoring in cities. Custom low-cost, solar powered sensing hardware feeds an Azure-based data and analytics stack that then drives end user experiences for various constituent groups. Project Eclipse is deployed in several U.S. cities, including a flagship deployment of 100 sensors in Chicago.
This demo will cover: hardware design (electronics, sensors, enclosure), sensor calibration and other analytics, data dashboards and mobile web experiences. The Chicago deployment will be highlighted to demonstrate how this urban technology can be integrated into the built environment, how the data and analytics can support community and city needs, and how Project Eclipse can be used to inform environmental justice efforts.
