Abstract

This article presents results and lessons learned from two user studies on crowdsensing incentives-specifically, on mobile gaming and micropayments. The analysis of the results suggests that gaming is a cost-effective solution for uniform area coverage, whereas micropayments work well for sensing tasks with tight time constraints or for long-term tasks for personal analytics.
