Hello Lamp Post
- Members
Hello Lamp Post is a communications and engagement platform that connects people to their town or city, using AI. By encouraging people to playfully interact with objects in their everyday surroundings, Hello Lamp Post is making local information more accessible, whilst gathering citizen insights and sentiment, at scale and in real time - at a cost that is a fraction of your Welcome Back Fund allocation. Through simple text-based mobile phone chats, Hello Lamp Post is helping to drive the way we shape local areas and services, positively impacting places where we live, work and play.
Activities
|
Hello Lamp Post UBC Campus | |
| Initially launched as a pilot project, Hello UBC was designed to innovatively engage students and staff on campus, to support the parking and access services team. Their goal was to communicate key messages and gain insights into the behaviours of commuters and visitors around campus. | ||

Air Quality Monitoring Network | |
| Air Pollution is an urgent problem linked to as many as nine million deaths per year worldwide and 14,000 annually in Canada, primarily from related heart and lung diseases. On UBC campus, sources of air pollution include personal vehicles, construction, restaurants, and businesses. In fact, the BC Air Quality Health Index can change from “Low-Risk” to “High-Risk” on campus during air pollution events such as wildfires. To address this, we have installed a network of 8 low-cost air quality sensors across UBC campus to measure air pollutant concentrations at different locations on campus. | ||
