Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of cultural applications of wireless sensing systems from four perspectives: the “Internet of Things”, the “Smart Grid”, “participatory sensing” on mobile phones, and an event-based point of view. The challenges and unique requirements of these applications are examined, and future opportunities for research are suggested in three technical areas: Machine Learning, Networking and Privacy. The need for more advanced authoring tools—enabling creators of cultural applications with less technical backgrounds to develop complex systems that use wireless sensing—also motivates work on these three technical topics.
