Conductor | MTA ME
At www.mta.me, Conductor turns the New York subway system into an interactive string instrument. Using the MTA’s actual subway schedule, the piece begins in realtime by spawning trains which departed in the last minute, then continues accelerating through a 24 hour loop. The visuals are based on Massimo Vignelli’s 1972 diagram.

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.
