Intel is getting a big response to Infoscape, a 7-foot by 7-foot double HD display that draws in real time from 20,000 content sources including Google News, Flickr, Twitter and Intel’s own database.
The material flows across the screen in 500 rotating cubes that users access via touch to open an expanded panel. There are 200 access points at any given time. Each screen runs on an Intel I7 processor. The proof of concept piece was developed by Intel as an exploration of “how people might access data in the future.”
Intel collaborated on the piece with outside vendors Foghorn and Elements.
