OpenDataCam

A Tool to Measure the Effectiveness of Urban Interventions

About

OpenDataCam is an accessible, affordable and transparent solution that enables everyone to quantify movements in urban environments. Beside many different kinds of applications, it can be used to measure the effectiveness of interventions in urban environments.

Technically, the tool uses computer vision to quantify and track moving objects. Thereby, it never records any photo or video data and processes everything locally. It features a friendly user interface and is fully documented as an open source project to underline transparency and full disclosure on privacy questions.

This site documents the design of its visual identity and user interface as well as strategic considerations.
