MEDIATED SPACES, INC.

The Mediated Spaces team is currently working on The WildLab application that use mobile devices for citizen science projects. Using locative data provided by GPS/LBS products, Mediated Spaces’ platform delivers information for education, research, and commercial applications.

THE WILDLAB

The WildLab aims to enable birdwatchers first.

Using GPS-enabled, internet-connected iPhones as data collection devices, students report their own scientific observations to each other, and share them with the larger scientific community.

In the classroom, students can see their sightings on maps, send their data to Cornell Lab of Ornithology's eBird Web site for analysis, posit their own questions, and develop their own line of inquiry based on their field experiences.

Not only do students collect rigorous scientific data, but they also are encouraged to become stewards of their environment.
