The cell phone app was exactly what I was thinking. It would be cool if then the data could be fed live to a website that could visualize the data for people to look at and get a real sense of being part of something bigger than just themselves. Perhaps cameras could be strategically places in areas where there are such urban voids to see how people react to them and what kind of activity goes on in the area. Exactly!
