So, here we are. Searching. Our physical origins leaving traces that are fragmented until coalesced into stored evidence using sensors that not only see what we cannot, but also translates what it sees into something comprehensible. The DoppelLab is a virtual environment created by the Responsive Environments Group at the MIT Media Lab for the investigation of systems activities and their complex relationship inside a sensor-rich environment. Users can walk through and interact with animated sensor data visualizations within a building or visualize from outside the structure of the many layers of activity and information as a whole. The first video is an excerpt that features Gershon Dublon speaking about some of the advantages of using this virtual environment setup. It highlights too, the wonderful Deep Space hi-def 16 by 9 meter projection videowall (another project example can be seen here). This is followed by a more official video of the DoppelLab experience.
