Urban Tomography is a novel application of mobile smartphone technology, designed to enable pervasive dense documentation of city life by many smartphone users at the same time and provide an automatically-archived historical record of places in time. Besides social-scientific inquiry and research, the system might enable community residents to document their own lives. We describe several pilot fieldwork applications in the use of Urban Tomography, providing insight into designing a system and protocols for conducting field documentation. We then discuss background, philosophy, and the technology of our system. Our website is: http://tomography.usc.edu.
