We’d like to announce the launch of our new website, https://sneezl.es , which uses real-time data and machine-learning to provide a map of worldwide sneezing.
Sneezes: for something so universal and explosive, they’ve historically been hidden away - but the Sneezles Project is bringing them into the spotlight. With global collaboration and powerful computers, scientists are beginning to uncover the impact this very human activity has on all our lives, from weather patterns to noise pollution, and beyond.
Sneezl.es is the flagship output of a three year research and innovation effort between international partners: the Stern Institute, Bless University and Tes Souhaits design studio. After this painstaking work, the team are ready to present Sneezles as the next generation in sneeze tracking.
“We’ve never seen anything like it before,” said Quentin Saint, Sneezles project lead. “It’s already challenging our assumptions about the patterns of sneezing around the world. It’s tremendously exciting to think of what we could do with people submitting sneezes of their own via the app”.
See a map of sneezes in real time at https://www.sneezl.es and sign up to get details of how you can contribute via the Hankie sneeze-tracking app. Developers can also get in touch to find out how to use the data in their own applications.
