The Kooha Project developed a cost-effective mobile application that enables real-time participatory photo and sensor data collection using smartphones and mobile devices. Photos captured and shared via Kooha is embedded with data (sound level, light, network signal, motion acceleration, gravity, weather data, etc.) collected through built-in sensors on the user's mobile devices. This can be a rich source of data that can be used for generating models, data analytics, or predictive and prescriptive capabilities.

Currently, there is a public website and Android mobile application downloadable in the Google Play Store.

This study aims to:

1. Carve out a niche for big data generation using available sensors in smartphones and external sensor devices;
2. Develop an online social network of students, enthusiasts, researchers, and citizen scientists built on the concept of sharing and mapping contributions of photographs and sensor data across the globe;
3. Empower the general public to contribute data to the scientific community; and
4. Provide a medium for data scientists, researchers, and citizen scientists to make use of big data generated by the Kooha application
