The Seoul city government has introduced an “augmented reality” camera application for mobile phones, for users to see a visual representation of the unseen fine dust in the air.
Using the app named “DustSee,” users can “see” fine dust both outdoors and indoors. The camera application offers three different filters to present a visual representation of the micro-particles.
The application also offers real-time status of the fine dust based on the locations of users.
Users can get overall information of the fine dust status, such as concentration, and wind direction and speed. They can also share the pictures through social media platforms.
The program also recommends what kind of masks to wear based on the different levels of dust.
