Abstract

Motivated by the opportunity of using public displays to contribute to crowdsourcing, we developed WeatherUSI -- an application that allows passers-by to provide subjective information about the weather, both currently and in the near future. In contrast to the input collected by an already fielded mobile app called Atmos, we envision the public display component to provide not only highly localized information about current and future weather conditions, but also to better incentivize the reporting process, given its public nature. In our upcoming deployment of WeatherUSI, we plan to investigate how participation through the public display component differs from the mobile component, and if the quality of weather related input differs between the two. This work in progress presents our approach, describes the underlying system infrastructure and outlines our planned study design.
