Using Arduinos to make conferences better

GigaOM recently wrote about our Data Sensing Lab at the recent Strata Conference: "Can Arduino devices jam-packed with sensors help you plan your next conference better? That's what O'Reilly Media is trying to figure out....A small and simple open-source computer board that can connect to sensors, the Arduino was one of 50 such gadgets that O'Reilly Media, host of the Strata Conference, planted around the facility. Sensors attached to the Arduinos pick up humidity, motion, sound and temperature data which they collect and wirelessly send to a ZigBee device that uploads it all to an Amazon Web Services cloud for real-time visualization and analysis and future processing, said tech-book author Alasdair Allan, one of the people behind the project."
