Carter Emmart - Air date: 05-22-07

Carter Emmart is the director of Astrovisualization for production and education at the Rose Center for Earth and Space at the American Museum of Natural History. He was one of the original team members of the NASA funded Digital Galaxy Project that helped redefine how a planetarium theater can present science to the public. The newly rebuilt Hayden Planetarium is now used as an immersive display that serves to surround its audiences in an accurately visualized 3D atlas of the Universe. Carter explores the concept of scientific storytelling with immersive data visualization, and how artistic processes can divine meaning and form out of the abstractions of science.

I won't listen to any more Harold Channer again.

I wish this and other videos like it had more views. Old Spice commercials have millions of views... Oh, humanity. :(

[lostintheapplasauce]

still it is interesting to watch the juxtaposition between carters point of view and harolds.

lmao at the bald guy; "what are those things? dariums?" ....dioramas r0fl

[tamberineman]

thumbs down only because the guy wont shut up and not letting the guy talk... ten stars on information

ohh, for crying out loud.... shut your face while Carter is talking!!! At least half of the stuff Harold is saying he has very little clue of what he is talking about and the other half I have no idea of what he's trying to say.

Like the rant at 51:40... "Terabyte Computers". The last hard drive I bought was on 1 terrabyte, they are quite common today. Did he mean Teraflops? Cause GFX cards that can do teraflops was available in 2008. IBM's super computer Road Runner measures on 1 petaflops.

Really interesting stuff, to bad someone had to constantly keep interrupting and changing focus. It seemed like Carter was going somewhere interesting with his talk, but the other dude kept trying to give him other directions or just trying to show of some nuggets of knowledge he has, like if it was a pissing contest.

To be more constructive with my critique. If someone is talking, you could either nod, say "ok" or ask him to clarify.

Thanks for posting this...Carter is legend.

[kenyager]

Harold talked too much, Carter is very interesting and has much to say.
