Subject: [cs-ugrads] Android apps for SCIENCE
Some friends of mine at CMU have developed an Android app that measures some aspects of WiFi use as it relates to location. For those of you who care about your privacy (hopefully, all of you!) the application
“automatically remembers the location where you had internet access through WiFi and maps [them] so that you can look them up later. The application is developed as part of a research project. We do not collect any information that identifies our users.”
(Dan’s note: unless you consider WiFi names, IP addresses+timestamps, etc. as identifying).
The QR-code to scan to get the app is here: http://wifimap.cmcl.cs.cmu.edu/
Please help out with the conducting of SCIENCE!
Thanks,
Dan
