We present VibN, a mobile sensing application deployed at large scale through the Apple App Store and the Android Market. VibN has been built to determine "what's going on" around the user in real-time by exploiting multiple sensor feeds. The application allows its users to explore live points of interest of the city by presenting real-time hotspots from sensor data. Each hotspot is characterized by a demographics breakdown of inhabitants and a list of short audio clips. The audio clips augment traditional microblogging methods by allowing users to automatically and manually provide rich audio data about their locations. VibN also allows one to browse historical points of interest and view how locations in a city evolve over time. Additionally, VibN automatically determines a user's personal points of interest, which are a means for building a user's breadcrumb diary of locations where they have spent significant amount of time. In this paper, we present the design, evaluation, and results from the large scale deployment of VibN through the popular Apple App Store and Android Market.
