'''SensorWeb''' wants to advance Mozilla’s mission to promote the open web when it evolves to the physical world. It aims to find the easiest path from sensors to open data so contributors can collaboratively use sensors to get great detail of understanding their living environment. We are launching a pilot project to build a crowdsourcing pm2.5 sensor network.  
'''SensorWeb''' is a project born out of Mozilla from a lean  team with a powerful mission. Its vision is to equip organizations and individuals with contextual information about their connected world that empowers them to make informed choices about policy and daily life.  


We picked one use case to be our pilot project and would like to invite everyone who shares the same passion to contribute, whether you are a developer, a blogger, or simply want to help. If you would like to participate, you can get in touch with our [[Connected_Devices/Participation|connected devices participation team]] immediately, or contact our development team below.  
The project works with a community of like-minded people to set up a sensor network to gather real-time, hyperlocal insights on air quality to help improve the quality of life of people who suffer from asthma and allergies or are concerned about their and their family’s health.  


== Project overview ==
In the future, SensorWeb can be applied to solve other environmental problems the world is facing today. We believe that with projects like SensorWeb, Mozilla can continue to empower people by growing a community to participate in this movement, bringing them a high-resolution view of our environment, and demanding the right policy based on data.  
SensorWeb is a blueprint to enable many hyper local uses cases and make sure everyone gets to access that data. It can be the real-time air quality of their neighboring street, the current wait time at their favorite cafe, water quality from rivers close to the village, etc.  


Today, we all use the web to access information generated by people. SensorWeb envisions a future of web that everyone freely shares and accesses real-time sensor data for better understanding of our living environment. Contributors can find a problem they want to solve with sensors and easily publish the sensor data on the web as they do with the web pages today. When a web user searches for information online, they will be presented with the relevant real-time data published by a sensor, or insights from analyzing hundreds or thousands of sensor data.
