Demo of a Pachube plugin for Google SketchUp. With this tool, you are able to view both realtime AND historic Pachube data (i.e. sensor and environment data) inside the popular 3D CAD software package SketchUp. The incoming data can be used to generate or modulate a 3D model of a building or environment, and enables sophisticated design-decisions that are based on actual (and not simulated) sensor and environment data.
This is fantastic. I would love to pick your brains about how best to frame this as a workshop for Interaction Design students. I've been looking at Sketch Up's Ar toolkit plugin to deliver as a course workshop, but this is beyond the bleeding edge. Just fantastic.

Sketchup as a building management controller? Wow. Now this is a cyberspace I can believe in. It makes me wonder what the whole Pachube network looks like at this scale
