Web Lab

A year-long exhibition devised by Google and the Science Museum with the hope of inspiring the next generation of computer scientists and enthusiasts. Visitors can take part in five experiments (also available online at www.chromeweblab.com): 'Universal Orchestra', an internet-powered, eight-piece robotic orchestra; 'Sketchbots', a series of 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 giving instant access to sites including a 24-hour US bakery; 'Lab Tag Explorer', a real-time visualisation of all 'Web Lab' visitors around the world.
