I can’t get enough of these ‘futurecasts’. Possible scenarios where designers/technologists think out loud about the potential impact digital devices can have. These guys, VURB, come at it from an urban planning perspective. I’m excited to live in this potential future, are you?
The Urbanode project, a research partnership with Digitale Pioneers, begins the process of creating public system software by wrapping the controls for lighting control systems, such as those found in theaters and nightclubs, in a javascript programming framework. Currently, a prototype of this system is deployed for testing and development in the Melkweg, one of the premiere venues for live music in Amsterdam.
