Carlo Ratti: Architecture that senses and responds

http://www.ted.com With his team at SENSEable City Lab, MIT's Carlo Ratti makes cool things by sensing the data we create. He pulls from passive data sets -- like the calls we make, the garbage we throw away -- to create surprising visualizations of city life. And he and his team create dazzling interactive environments from moving water and flying light, powered by simple gestures caught through sensors.

@Murakamizo You are so right, at the end of the talk I did not understand how is he going to fight climate change with this crap.TED has to check the quality of work.

[KantutJuice]

Agreed. I loved the idea of always sensing and then 'actuating'. But what came after was boring and stupid.

[Murakamizo]

wow, the animation of the dancer was so so woeful. I don't understand why some tech people like to show this disgusting low quality awkward body animations.

The flying pixels are so marketing oriented, the cost is huge, a lot of energy wasted. why? they are showing 2D images with it, boring, 3D images are also boring. We don't need flying super expensive pixels, we need projects that could use sensible information about how to think and use energy on cities. Like the f1 but useful

Great talk, but what made me return was his jacket. Does anyone know where I can get it?
