Projects

Relaunch mmWave sensor

As a continuation of the mmWave project we have installed three sensors on the Marineterrein to improve the mmWave sensor as a fully-fledged, privacy-friendly alternative for monitoring crowd movements.

Contestable AI: designing responsible decision-making systems

'Contestable AI' explores algorithmic decision-making systems that are open and responsive to dispute.

Citizen communication and participation regarding sensors

Smart city systems are on the rise. Together with national partners we are working towards a standard communication approach to enhance awareness on the use of sensors and, with that, the involvement of citizens.

RAAK-PRO: deploying ethical technology

With this project we aim to help professionals from different sectors develop an integrated, value-based design approach for smart city technologies’ ethical implementation. We do so by focusing on the concrete and urgent case of machine-vision in public space.

Pilot Shuttercams around ArenA

Our Shuttercam project is entering a new phase! To monitor crowdedness in public space near the Johan Cruijff football stadium while respecting social values like privacy, two Shuttercams have been installed.

Senses of Amsterdam exhibited at City Hall

Visit our exhibit Senses of Amsterdam at the Amsterdam City Hall from Thursday 29 September.

Challenging the design of smart doorbells

Our graduation student Sofie-Amalie is creating alternative smart doorbells through speculative design to challenge the current design of smart doorbells (IoT doorbells with integrated cameras).

Shutterring

The Shutterring project aims to make smart doorbells more responsible by ensuring the privacy of bypassers and owners while keeping the main functionality of the device intact.

Shuttercam

The Shuttercam project originated based on the notion that people do not know if and when cameras in public space are recording or not.

6 design sprints

We have started a new collaboration with design studio The Incredible Machine to increase the output of new concepts, feasible designs and tangible prototypes that can be tested.

Enhancing the feeling of safety in public environments

In collaboration with TU Delft we have hired a graduate student to start a new project on responsible sensing to enhance the feeling of safety in public environments.

Simple Sensors

The Simple Sensors project investigates how cities can collect data responsibly.
