Title: Digital cloud plan for city skies
Post by: Simon on Nov 11, 2009, 22:02:46
A giant "digital cloud" that would "float" above London's skyline has been outlined by an international team of architects, artists and engineers.

The construction would include 120m- (400ft-) tall mesh towers and a series of interconnected plastic bubbles that can be used to display images and data.

I had a quick read of this earlier, but couldn't really think of a useful purpose for it!

Almost every Sci-Fi film in recent years has had some giant screen in the sky for the overlord to command his sheep :D
