Wearable Biosensing to Improve Urban Equity

As many features of the current cities are designed/maintained for the "average person," marginalised people like older adults and the blind often face barriers in their daily urban lives.

 

This project is to gather insights to promote inclusivity and equity in our cities. To this end, we observe where and when the marginalised people have uncomfortable interactions with the urban environment through their eyes by applying a simple affordable wristband-type biosensor.
