Global Project Shines Big Light on the Human Face of Big Data, Invites People All Over the Planet to Share, Connect and Engage for Seven Days <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

New York, NY \u2013 September 26, 2012 \u2013<\/strong> Rick Smolan, co-creator of the groundbreaking \u201cDay in the Life\u201d series and other globally crowdsourced projects, today launched a free mobile app<\/a> enabling people to share and compare their lives for seven days (September 26-October 2) using the sensors in their phones and by responding to thought-provoking questions with others around the globe about their dreams, interests and views on family, sleep, trust, sex and luck. The Android<\/a> version is currently available and the iOS version will launch later this week.<\/p>\n

The app represents the launch event of The Human Face of Big Data<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, a series of initiatives aimed at inspiring a global conversation about humanity\u2019s new ability to collect, analyze, triangulate and visualize vast amounts of data in real time.<\/p>\n

On October 2, Smolan and team are hosting a series of invitation-only media events in London, Singapore and New York, where leading Big Data experts will interpret and visualize seven days\u2019 worth of information streaming in from participants using the mobile app all over the world. In addition, leading data entrepreneurs, scientists and innovators will share examples of their work in an interactive \u201cBig Data Lab.\u201d A live webcast will allow people around the world to watch the briefings as the day unfolds.<\/p>\n

\u201cBig Data is beginning to affect every aspect of our existence,\u201d said Smolan. \u201cEveryone carrying a smartphone has become a human sensor, and this new ability to sense and measure the world in real time is something our planet has never seen before. From curing diseases to conserving precious resources such as water and energy, Big Data may be the tool we need to address many of the most pressing issues of our time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beginning today through October 2, The Human Face of Big Data<\/em><\/strong> mobile app<\/a> invites people to share ideas and compare their responses with others around the world. People can map their daily path, share the objects and rituals that bring them luck, get a glimpse into the one special thing that others want to experience during their lifetime and discover hidden secrets about the world in which they live. The app is available in eight languages: English, Mandarin (simplified), Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Korean and Russian.<\/p>\n
