Video: Nokia & PEIR at Work

   

 

We’ve spoken about PEIR and Nokia’s Enviromental Initiatives before.

PEIR is actually an acronym for “Personal Environmental Impact Report” and is a new “tool” that can be used to measure users’ impact on the environment, directly from their mobile phones, having certain software that uses the multitude of sensors packed in today’s mobile devices. The software is capable of collecting speed and location information that is correlated with Geographic Information System data. This way, an individual’s environmental exposure and impact can then be visualized online, using GPS, your phone Camera, and anything else that can help.

Robbie over at WomWorld emailed us this cool new video of PEIR in action. Definitely worth checking out y’all. Click the thumbail to get the video started :
