The Smart Re-Use Network comes from the idea of bringing people together into a smart community. The current Smart Citizen Platform accepts the input of Data from sensored devices to measure environmental information like contamination, sound, light, temperature, etc. This project aims to the people, understanding them as the sensors and also taking into account that we carry sensors always with us, like the computers, smartphones and tablets. Recycling and managing waste in the city becomes interactive in a way that the user is directly involved in a ‘gamelike’ environment always having information accessible about location and condition of things in the city. A whole new environment of ‘exchange shopping’ can be achievable by joining community efforts and precedents that are already working and available in the city of Barcelona.
The proposal implies using the Smart Citizen Platform to visualize and account ‘things’ in the city. A platform that provides the instruments to reuse and exchange items in an interactive manner. Multi-device applications can be accessed at any time to view the realtime data while specific actions can be done to acquire a desired item. The Users can use the open information about things to track and reserve items, and then look for them. The user has the advantage of having the ability to filter items on a map or on a list by class or location.
