Living Data
September 1, 2010
The AlloSphere, a three-story-high globe at the California NanoSystems Institute at the University of California, Santa Barbara, facilitates interactive 3-D visualizations to enables scientists to dive into data in unprecedented ways. Inside the sphere, they can get their hands on the atoms making up the crystal structure of new solar-cell materials or enter a brain and hear its activity.

Beautiful ! Now this is my type of feed, as the mesh’s come to be realized by more . I love it ! TED is getting better and better. Art, technology, mathematical modeling, visualizations, audio, real time manipulation, virtualization in virtual environment’s, physic’s, mass data point conceptualization and rendering, a teaching and learning tool, electromagnetic, and a reference to schrödinger, all coming into the mesh’s and stream’s . I love it in so many way’s, and so many perceptual angles or vantage point’s. Now if we could get a virtual space to gather at similar to second life but for technology and in higher resolution’s, for a world wide meeting place to learn and experiment with others of like mind’s or similar interest’s. A place where traditional languages break and common interest’s are evolved and shared. My proverbial virtual city Alpha, where I can feel like I’m a part of more human like grouping’s threw common interest’s or thought’s. Some of the mesh’s are so beautiful and compelling in thought. Some of the stuff like this is the way of the future. I love it , and I feed so easily on it . Though it leaves me wanting more and more . This technology is my drug or fix or intoxification , vise , or even habit of choice . Yes still more work to be done on many levels , and more people of like mind’s and such to bring together. Also a few more barrier’s to dissolve , as the mesh’s come to be. The best puzzles to play with indeed .
