Ambient Activity Mutating Space
Idea[edit]
Original idea: use voice recognition from ambient microphones plus natural language processing to pick out Google-able phrases. Display the "I'm Feeling Lucky!" results on a projector or LCD screen at the space.
Several people have talked about extending this with better rendering in vvvv or Processing, plus adding things like gesture recognition from webcams.
