Cornell Medical School 3D Cave
The Cornell Visualization Facility is the world’s first high definition 3D virtual reality environment projected in a 3D CAVE environment. It uses the high res blended images, projected on three walls and a walk-on floor. An interactive tracking device, worn by the primary user, coupled with a hand-held electronic wand to manipulate the images, allows multiple researchers to “move around” simultaneously within a three-dimensional data set or structure.

WeePlaces | FourSquare Visualization
Geo startup, Movity, has built a well sweet little visualization device called Weeplaces. It’s a simple idea that enables Foursquare users to visualize their check-ins. The tech shows where you’ve been and the volume of your check-ins over a give period. Yellow lines connecting your current location to the previous, so you kinda get a track of your motion.

Wireless In The World 2 | Wireless Harder
A follow up to the original Wireless in the World experiment.
“Utopian and radical architects in the 1960s predicted that cities in the future would not only be made of brick and mortar, but also defined by bits and flows of information. The urban dweller would become a nomad who inhabits a space in constant flux, mutating in real time. Their vision has taken on new meaning in an age when information networks rule over many of the city’s functions, and define our experiences as much as the physical infrastructures, while mobile technologies transform our sense of time and of space.”
