Hello everyone, I was inspired to take this course partly thinking about responsive cities related to IOT (my field) and COVID-19. We are currently in The Netherlands in an 'intelligent lockdown' (stay home as much as possible and take 1.5 meters social distance.) The problem now is when you want to go out you don't know where it is busy with other people, also getting some fresh air. With great weather there at certain times are an 'uncomfortable' number of people in the parks, joggers etc. I want an app to know where it is busy and the average social distance is more than 1.5 meter. I think it would be great to have a HEAT-MAP-APP. So I can avoid certain areas. A heatmap offers 'citizen-generated-content' yet does not have to show individual users (considering privacy). The app using historical data can also start predicting at some point. Alerts can be sent (opt-in). 'Smart' Cities could send push notifications - don't go to touristic spots etc.. (Sorry folks I am not a designer)
