The Last Hope - AMD Project - Leica 3D Visual

At The Last HOPE hacker conference, the AMD project (http://amd.hope.net/) provided 1400 attendees with active 2.4GHz RFID badges. These badges tracked attendees around the conference. The AMD web site allowed participants to enter information about their interests and connect with similar users and find conference presentations they might enjoy. The project also provided several interesting visualizations, including the graphs and 2D maps shown in this video.

The (non-personally identifying) data collected during the project will be released under a creative commons non-commercial license. The software will also be released under and open-source license. Sign up for the mailing list on the web site to be notified when these releases are made.
