How? Through a co-design guided activity with DynAIkon developers. Let us know the challenges you experience when using a camera trap and share your opinion about the services <a href="https://cos4cloud-eosc.eu" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Cos4Cloud</a> is developing to address them. Of course, you will also have a nice time chatting with a diverse group of people about camera traps, nature and citizen science. <strong>You don't need any previous experience or training in co-design; just willing to enjoy these creative sessions! </strong></p><h2>You will learn and share your opinion about: </h2><ul><li><strong></strong><a href="https://cos4cloud-eosc.eu/services/fastcat-cloud-camera-trap/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><strong>FASTCAT-Cloud:</strong></a><strong> </strong>upload and analyze all the videos and pictures captured with your camera trap in the FASTCAT-Cloud website: get only the images and recordings of wildlife activity and quickly identify the species names thanks to artificial intelligence software.</li></ul><ul><li><strong></strong><a href="https://cos4cloud-eosc.eu/services/fastcat-edge-camera-trap/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><strong>FASTCAT-Edge</strong></a><strong>:</strong> Build your intelligent camera trap to record only videos and pictures of wildlife activity and quickly identify the species names.</li></ul><p>In both cases, our objective is to<strong> save you a significant amount of time in removing empty recordings or photos</strong>. Also, it will help you to identify the species names!</p><h2>How will the session work? </h2><p>During the co-design session, you will be guided by a facilitator through a set of different phases that will include <strong>a presentation of FASTCAT-Cloud and FASTCAT-Edge and an interactive activity where you will share your experiences</strong> when using a camera trap. We will work on the usability and interface of these two services that are being co-designed: </p><ol><p><strong>We will work with two different scenarios: </strong></p></ol><ul><li><strong>Case 1: </strong>You have a camera trap and you are interested in getting only the images and videos of wildlife activity and quickly identify the species names.</li><li><strong>Case 2: </strong>You are interested in building a do-it-yourself (DIY) intelligent camera trap to record wildlife activity and help you identify the species names.   </li></ul><h2>Agenda </h2><ul><li><strong>15:00-15:10:</strong> Welcoming and a brief presentation of Cos4Cloud and the co-design methodology. </li><li><strong>15:10-15:25:</strong> Presentation of FASTCAT-Edge and FASTCAT-Cloud </li><li><strong>15:25-16:45: </strong>Interactive activity to co-design FASTCAT-Cloud and FASTCAT-Edge using the Miro platform.</li><li><strong>16:45-17:00:</strong> Conclusions and closing. </li></ul><h2>Organizers: </h2><ul><li><a href="https://cos4cloud-eosc.eu" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Cos4Cloud</a>, an Horizon 2020 project to boost citzen science technologies. </li><li><a href="https://dynaikon.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">DynAIkon </a>is developing FASTCAT-Edge and FASTCAT-Cloud in the Horizon 2020 Cos4Cloud project framework. </li><li><a href="https://www.scienceforchange.eu" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Science for Change</a>, an experienced company in co-design and citizen science, organizes and facilitates the co-design session. </li></ul>
