Google has teamed up with the Science Museum to create Web Lab, a year-long free exhibition which never sleeps. The exhibition opened
in July 2012. It looks so up my street, will be scheduling a visit for the new year.
The web lab exhibition features a series of interactive Chrome Experiments intended to inspire a new generation of computer scientists and enthusiasts.
To interact with the exhibition in realtime visitors can log on to www.chromeweblab.com where you will be invited to interact with the below five unique experiments.
My favourite Google Web Lab experiment is the 'Lab tab explorer'.
The Google Web Lab experiments:
Universal Orchestra: An Internet-powered eight-piece robotic orchestra.
Sketchbots: Custom-built robots able to take photographs and then sketch them in sand.
Data Tracer: A map that traces where the world’s online information is physically stored.
Teleporter: A series of web-enabled periscopes through which you can instantly access the world happenings.
Lab Tag Explorer: A real-time visualisation of all Web Lab visitors from around the world that groups and categorises participants in a clever way.
Google's Steve Vranakis, creative director of Web Lab, said: "The internet is incredible. It powers our lives everyday, allows us to explore the globe and lets us communicate with friends the world over. Until now, all this magic has remained locked behind our screens"
Web Lab opened - both in London and online on Thursday 19 July and is scheduled to run until Summer 2013. Entry to Web Lab is free.
