The MOBILES app lets international students collect, document and enrich their journeys around the city using GPS. They can drop detailed notes on an interactive map to capture personal and sensory experiences, and with them how they make the city their own. It becomes a way to tell the story of settling in, to put impressions into words and to share discoveries with others — turning the city into an open notebook to personalise and pass around.
